On Wednesday, December 6, 2023, Las Vegas suffered a campus shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas that killed 64-year-old Cha Jan Jerry Chang, a professor in the Lee Business School’s Management, Entrepreneurship & Technology department who had taught at UNLV since 2001. Chang was shot in the head inside Frank and Estella Beam Hall and did not survive.

The assailant was identified as 67-year-old Anthony Polito, a former professor who had applied for a position at UNLV and been unsuccessful. Polito carried a legally purchased 9 mm handgun and moved through the third, fourth and fifth floors of the business school, fatally wounding Chang and two other faculty members, Patricia Navarro-Velez and Naoko Takemaru; a fourth visiting professor was wounded. Polito was shot and killed by UNLV police officers after an exchange of gunfire outside Beam Hall. Investigators recovered a list of targets on Polito and an eviction notice from his apartment.

Does anyone have memories of Professor Chang, his work at the Lee Business School, or information about that day that could help document his life and the impact on colleagues?
