About
Why this site exists, who it's for, and how it's run.
Why this exists
Graduate student life at UNR involves a lot of scattered information: department announcements, university offices, informal advice passed between students, event flyers, and Discord servers that not everyone knows about. Into the Sagebrush is an attempt to put the useful parts of that in one place — not to replace any of it, but to make it easier to find.
Who it's for
Current graduate students at UNR looking for events, resources, or a community to ask questions in, and incoming graduate students trying to get oriented before they arrive.
What this site is not
Into the Sagebrush is an independent, community-run project. It is not officially operated, endorsed, or maintained by the University of Nevada, Reno. Where the site links to or references university offices, programs, or policies, that information has been checked against official UNR sources. Any future addition without one gets marked TODO rather than guessed at.
How it's built
The site is a small static website: plain HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript, with no build step, framework, or backend. The Outlook Calendar stays the source of truth for event scheduling, and Discord stays the source of truth for community discussion — this site links to and embeds those rather than trying to rebuild them.
How to contribute
The site's code and content live in a GitHub repository. Contributions — corrections,
new resources, design improvements — are welcome through pull requests. See
CONTRIBUTING.md in the repository for details.
