The only person to survive the Dec. 6, 2023, shooting rampage at UNLV said the school must continue with courage. UNLV honored and remembered on Friday the three professors killed a year ago. “A year ago, my life was nearly taken by an act of evil. Through this tragic incident, I found a way to survive,” Daraboth Rith said. “We are far stronger than we ever realize.”

A year after the tragedy of December 6, 2023, at UNLV, the events of that day have continued to spark conversations far beyond the local scope. The shooting that left three professors dead and another severely injured has ignited calls for tighter gun control laws, more mental health resources, and new safety measures in schools nationwide.

As commencement approaches, graduating seniors from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) College of Engineering showcased their semester-long projects at the Fred and Harriet Cox Senior Design Competition. According the university, the event marks the culmination of their academic journey, and challenged students to apply their theoretical knowledge to create commercially viable prototypes.

One year after a shooter unleashed horror on their campus, members of the UNLV community said they stand stronger than ever. “We don’t erase the past. Instead, we honor it by stepping into the future with courage and purpose,” Professor Daraboth “Bot” Rith, who was shot 10 times on Dec. 6, 2023 said at a memorial event on Friday morning.
