MADISON, Wis. — After the shootings at Virginia Tech one year ago, the University of Wisconsin-Madison put plans in place to notify the campus community of an emergency.
The university also developed efforts to help prevent similar tragedies on campus. One of those efforts is a training session called “Avenger Violence Awareness” that UW-Madison police put on Wednesday.
During the training, police reviewed the events that happened at Virginia Tech and explained how communication can be key to preventing campus violence.
