Yesterday’s events at University of Nevada-Las Vegas were a lot for our local community to process. Our thoughts are with the students, families, and faculty members affected by yesterday’s tragic events on campus. There are different support services being offered across our community for those who were on campus and dealing with the trauma that comes from an event like yesterdays. These support activities involve getting students away from the campus and hopefully focusing their minds on something other than being on the campus.
