The Virginia Tech Massacre: Strategies and Challenges for Improving Mental Health Policy on Campus and Beyond
Since the tragic events at Virginia Tech in 2007, in which 1 student gunned down 27 fellow students, 5 faculty members, and injured a score of others before taking his own life, many more such shootings have occurred on campuses.
