PrepTalks: Kristina Anderson "Lessons Learned as a Survivor of the Virginia Tech Tragedy"

Symposium date: May 30, 2018

Kristina Anderson’s PrepTalk begins with her experience during the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. She translates her experience into a focus on the importance of threat assessments in schools to identify and mitigate potential threats. She explains that it’s important to improve physical safety, but it’s just as important to encourage people to monitor their environment and to build a supportive culture in a school.  

Kristina Anderson founded The Koshka Foundation for Safe Schools, a non-profit dedicated to helping local community and school stakeholders work together to prevent, respond, and heal in the aftermath of school violence.
