Oral history interview with Jake Siazon conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on September 10, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Jake Siazon describes walking in his December 2023 UNLV graduation ceremony, sitting with his friends and celebrating, just two weeks after the campus shooting. Siazon recalls the morning of December 6, when his photography class was meeting for the last time in the Alta Ham Fine Arts (HFA) building near Maryland Parkway. As the first student's presentation concluded, students began receiving texts telling them of a shooting near the Student Union. They locked the doors to shelter in place. As students received texts of others being evacuated to the Thomas & Mack Center, they knew they would evacuate soon. Police came to escort them out after about three hours, telling them to leave with what they had in their hands and on their person. As they walked across the grassy mall toward Lied Library, Siazon remembered he had his camera and began taking pictures to document the moment, understanding that it was UNLV history. He captured images of students walking, SWAT, students gathering at Thomas & Mack, and the cityscape. After leaving, he realized the lot with his car was closed off, and he retraced his steps back to Tropicana and headed west down to the Excalibur Hotel, where he caught the tram to the Mandalay Bay and met his ride. He captured the city skyline and a deserted Tropicana Avenue while he walked, returning the next day to retrieve his car and his belongings from the classroom. The events of the day taught him to be patient, and that he can support those who need it. He waited to develop his film from December 6, but displayed three images from that day in a student art exhibition in March 2024. Digital audio and transcript available.

Oral history interview with Musa Pam conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on September 24, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Pam, the Associate Vice President of Facilities Management, describes his educational background and personal history before talking about his memories from December 6, 2023. He was with his team in the Campus Services Building, and they gathered together in a conference room while they stayed updated on news and tried to account for his 300-member staff. He talks about his assistant, who delivered ten sets of master keys to BEH, and how law enforcement evacuated their building and sent everyone home. He remained, completed his daily walk in reverse (avoiding Beam Hall), and photographed the deserted campus. The quiet reminded him of March 13, 2020, when Brown University first shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He recalls December 7, with the campus marked by caution tape, more than 500 doors breached by law enforcement, and all the belongings that students and staff had left behind. University Police Assistant Director Miller took him to Beam Hall, where he saw broken glass everywhere, bullet holes and bullets embedded in walls, damaged fire alarms, and blood on the floor. He remembers the biohazard cleanup, and credits his team for their role in the campus-wide recovery and healing when they restored all campus buildings' systems and replaced all damaged doors and alarms before the new semester began January 16, 2024.
