Perspective: Each campus shooting is a reminder that I was a student at 'one of those schools'

Gun violence has dramatically changed faculty life on our college campuses. Orientations and trainings now include conversations about active-shooter situations or how to profile your students for “odd” or “threatening” behaviors. Buildings are designed and marketed to be better facilities, not because the technology can promote teaching and learning, but because it can work in efficient ways to contain a shooter on campus with systems designed to lock down buildings in an instant.
Every April, or when another campus or school is the scene of gun violence, my friends and colleagues who were with me in Blacksburg often reach out to one another. Sometimes we share coping strategies and how we may have approached a certain situation with a student or a new space we find ourselves in. Pedagogy, or how we teach and support students, has changed to include other conversations once rarely discussed on college campuses.
