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. Digital audio and transcript available.
