Elizabeth Ku oral history interview, 2024 August 26

Oral history interview with Elizabeth Ku conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 26, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Ku, a UNLV mechanical engineering major, describes planning to meet friends for lunch at the Student Union, but when schedule conflicts delayed their lunch, she instead went to the UNLV community garden. As she started heading for the Thomas T. Beam Engineering Complex - Building B (TBE-B), she saw people running and received the first text alert. As she neared the Science and Engineering Building (SEB), some professors waved her inside the teachers' lounge, where she sheltered with three other students and about four professors. The group in the teachers' lounge played Uno to keep themselves calm; the professors also shared snacks. Ku shares that this experience taught her she is loved; she has a support system; and she has reasons for joy and to live. Digital audio and transcript available.
