Dean Dan's Message to the Boyd Community Regarding the Las Vegas Strip Shooting
Members of the Boyd Family,
We are saddened beyond words at the unspeakable tragedy that took place in our city last night. We stand together to help one another through this difficult time. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
The law school is open and classes will be held. We are here to help however we can. There are resources both at the law school and at UNLV. Please let me or Dean Durand know if we can help provide support or assistance in any way. Frank is at frank.durand(at)unlv.edu and at 702 895-1240. I am at daniel.hamilton(at)unlv.edu and at 702 895-1876. We will keep Room 203 open all day for people to come together. Information on grief counseling follows.
No one at the law school or at UNLV is alone. Please do reach out to me or any of the faculty and staff and let us know how we can help. We are a community that supports each other, especially at times like this.
Yours,
Dan
