Local CEO Fosters Overall Excellence Through Honors College Gift

Students and faculty in the Honors College have greater resources at hand, thanks to a Las Vegas man’s commitment to excellence in higher education. Mark Yoseloff, CEO for Shuffle Master, Inc., initiated the Honors College Opportunity Fund through a recent donation to UNLV. His gift will fund scholarships, support the academic activities of students in the college, and help recruit outstanding faculty to the university.

“Above funding this endowment, Dr. Yoseloff is personally committed to helping the college enhance these funds,” says Stephen Rosenbaum, dean of the Honors College. He is dedicated to improving the visibility of the college as a focus of excellence in higher education in Nevada.” Together, they will work as a team to generate additional support for the Honors College and the endowment. 

Yoseloff, whose daughter is a first-year student in the Honors College, believes that “a great education is the most precious gift” parents can bestow on their children. “UNLV is an important resource for our community. As such, there are numerous philanthropic efforts under way to support the university. After having spent time with Dean Rosenbaum, I could not think of any better way to support the goal of providing a world-class educational opportunity here in Las Vegas than to make this gift,” he says.
