Today's Gratitude: Kierstin Dimmick and Cody Pinzon

After everyone received the RebelSafe notification of the events that were taking place the morning of Dec. 6, [Event Operations manager] Kierstin Dimmick and [Guest Services facility coordinator] Cody Pinzon sacrificed their own safety to manually lock the Student Union external doors and the internal meeting room doors. In a moment of fear and uncertainty if the perpetrator was in the Student Union, the two of them chose braveness and selflessness. They are truly heroes in my eyes, and I am so grateful for their dedication to the UNLV community.
