“Lessons Learned as a Survivor of the Virginia Tech Tragedy” Kris#na Anderson is a survivor of the Virginia Tech tragedy and the founder of Koshka FoundaJon for Safe Schools, a non-­‐profit which creates resources and content for raising the level of awareness toward campus safety for students, parents and educators. The foundaJon also works to provide resources and support for survivors of trauma. KrisJna started the non-­‐profit aber surviving the worst school shooJng commi1ed by a single perpetrator on April 16th, 2007. KrisJna was shot 3 Jmes during the Virginia Tech shooJng – twice in her back and once in her toe -­‐ while a1ending an Intermediate French class. She became one of the most criJcally injured survivors with the largest number of casualJes in her classroom. Thanks to a genius surgeon, strong family, and an immense outpouring of support, KrisJna made a full recovery and proudly returned to Virginia Tech to finish her degree in InternaJonal Studies and Foreign Languages. As her perspecJve on life has significantly changed, KrisJna travels extensively for trainings and presentaJons on emergency preparedness, safety, and moJvaJonal speaking with law enforcement and corporate audiences. Ms. Anderson is also co-­‐founder of Live Safe, a personal safety mobile applicaJon that promotes a crowd sourced approach in prevenJng crime. The name of Kris;na’s founda;on (pronounced co-­‐shhh-­‐ca) translates to “LiRle KiRen” in Russian, a nod to her Russian mother’s nickname for her growing up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “The Ac#ve Shooter Awareness Program with emphasis in Violent Extremism, Lone Wolves/
Lone Offenders, their Behavioral Characteris#cs and Law Enforcement Response.” Joe Metzinger, a gregarious FBI agent who has invesJgated terror cases since 1996, is assigned to one of the more sensiJve tasks. He is the FBI liaison to the region's colleges and universiJes, meeJng oben with campus safety directors and other officials. He offers training, helping schools recognize potenJal signs of terrorist acJvity and how to react to a Virginia Tech-­‐style mass shooJng. But he's also busy making contacts, collecJng informaJon. "You have to be careful because campuses by their very nature are supposed to be open and accessible," he said, though he also added: "We thrive on informaJon." 62nd NECUSA Conference Program 2015 June 21-­‐24, 2015 Exton-­‐Valley Forge, PA.
