Rob Levrant oral history interview, 2024 November 14

Oral history interview with Rob Levrant conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on November 14, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Levrant, Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives and Lifelong Learning for the Division of Educational Outreach at UNLV, recalls his childhood, career, and eventual move to Las Vegas, Nevada. He shares that the day prior to the shooting he was in a car accidnet, so he was working from home on December 6, 2024 although his employees were on campus. He recalls communicating through Slack to account for everyone, fielding phone calls asking for directions on where they should go, and hearing the distress through the various phone calls. He was unable to reach his daughter who lived in Tonopah Hall, although eventually learned she was safe. He speaks of survivor’s guilt from being off site and of becoming even more determined to advocate for the safety of students and staff while they are on campus. The day of the vigil, he invited three employees for lunch before driving together to the vigil. Digital audio and transcript availble.
