Three students were killed and others injured in a Feb. 13 shooting on campus that continues to provoke anxiety and concern among students and teachers.
Despite an announced plan to add 1,300 locks, install more cameras on campus and require an ID card to enter most buildings after 6 p.m., students say that they are still reeling from the attack and feeling that the university failed them.
Three months ago, Jyotiraditya Chavan, a graduating engineering major, decided to take a nap and skip class. It proved to be a potentially fateful decision.“That’s how I got saved; the shooter took the same route I used to come back home from class,” he said outside the Breslin Center, where seniors in their green caps and gowns poured out on May 6, taking photos and embracing family.
Madeleine Tocco, an environmental science and management graduate who served on the student government Council of Students with Disabilities, spent the weeks after the shooting advocating for a safer environment. During the manhunt that followed the attack, she hid with a friend who has a connective tissue disorder.
Asked whether graduation season was overshadowed by the shooting, she noted that she wore a “Spartan Strong” pin on her graduation robe, reflecting the slogan used after the shooting. “So I would say so,” she said.
