In honor of Kenny Guinn and his numerous accomplishments and contributions to UNLV and to the state of Nevada, the President of UNLV and the Office of Advancement dedicated a bronze plaque and portrait of Mr. Guinn, on October 14th, 2011. The bronze relief was crafted by renowned artist Benjamin Victor, and it was placed on the Pioneer Wall at UNLV’s main campus. The dedication ceremony was held in the Grand Hall at Tam Alumni Center. President Smatresk provided remarks, along with Lieutenant Governor Brian Krolicki, UNLV Millennium Scholars: Sarah Saenz and Khalon Richards, Joseph Brown, Jeff and Steve Guinn, and Benjamin Victor (bronze artist).

Working with the Guinn family, UNLV also composed a memorial tribute book about the legacy of Kenny Guinn in Nevada.
