Samantha Feder oral history interview, 2024 August 30

Level of Description

File

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Sam Feder conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 30, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Feder, a psychology major who lives on campus in the dormitory for upperclassmen, recalls her experiences on December 6. She and her housemate sheltered in the bathroom, the most secure portion of the suite. Soon SWAT came in, checked their space, and told them to remain there. However, Feder’s cane, wheelchair, or medicine were in a different room. Two hours later, police came through to evacuate the building and refused her request to go into her room for her medical essentials. Feder and her suitemate left on foot, and her suitemate was physically carrying her, while Feder remained calm and mentally carried the both of them to safety. Eventually, they arrived at the medical station near Beam Hall and were taken to Sunrise Hospital where her parents picked them up. Through that day and the weeks afterwards, Feder describes how she has learned to be a better advocate for herself, and she has a plan in place when the next emergency occurs. She is slowly moving back into full campus life, and rebuilding her social support system. The greatest assistance is her new job at the UNLV CARE Center, where she is helping others to heal as well. Digital audio and transcript available.

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Matthew Montalto conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on September 5, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Montalto begins by describing his childhood in Las Vegas, after his family moved here from Anchorage, Alaska when he was five. Montalto graduated in 2000, and completed nearly one year at UNLV before a medical condition forced him to withdraw. For the next 14 years, Montalto worked various office jobs before realizing he wanted a college degree. In 2019, UNLV awarded him his B.A. degree in English and Creative Writing, and he soon found work in the Department of Anthropology. On December 6, 2023, he and his husband, Jose, parked on Maryland Parkway in front of Flora Dungan Hall (FDH); before saying goodbye, they made plans to meet for lunch in the Student Union. Montalto talks about his pride that UNLV didn't hire the shooter, and that through this, he and UNLV have "become better versions" of themselves. He describes therapy, support systems, and the power of gaming narrative story groups. He mentions the school shooting in Winder, Georgia in the context of the Columbine High School and Sandy Hook shootings. He learned he is more stable in a crisis than he knew, and he performs well under pressure. Digital audio and transcript available.
