Description: A shooting on campus is a devastating event for both the school and surrounding community.  And behind the scenes, it can be a major disruption to your auxiliary operations.  As an auxiliary manager, do you find yourself asking: how adequately are we prepared to deal with an unexpected tragedy?

In light of the recent Virginia Tech shooting, the NACAS Professional Development Committee has arranged for a virtual roundtable on January 19, 2012, facilitated by Bill Ballard, Associate VP for Administrative and Facilities Services from the University of Vermont. Bill is an internationally Certified Emergency Manager and NACAS has frequently turned to him for his expertise in managing crises on campus. Bill will illustrate how advanced planning is key to managing any type of rapidly unfolding incident resulting in serious injury or death: emergency response, communications to campus and media, and more.

This hour-long roundtable will provide an opportunity for those participating to share their own plans and experiences in dealing with a campus crisis involving faculty, staff, students or guests.
