"I am most excited to inspire Boyd graduates to affect positive change in the city. Las Vegas, in many ways, is at a critical juncture. We are in the midst of a nascent economic recovery, accompanied by a transformation of the downtown, and the rise in housing prices. It is important to ensure that this recovery is enjoyed by all Las Vegans, regardless of socio-economic status," Professor Franklin said in his profile.
The Community Economic Development Clinic, which launches in the fall of 2014, will represent nonprofits, small businesses, and community-based associations on transactional matters.
