On December 13, a gunman opened fire at a gathering on Brown University's campus, killing two students and injuring nine others. Days later, an MIT professor was killed at his home. Authorities have since identified a suspect and say he is believed to be connected to both cases. The motive remains unclear.

In the wake of these events, Gordon Gee, who previously served as Brown's president, heard from colleagues across higher education wrestling with similar questions: How do you prepare for something like this? How do you respond?

Gee hosted a “Pop-up Podcast” with Jeff Hunt, founding partner at Legend Labs, and Larry Zacarese, Chief Risk Officer at Stony Brook University and a former police chief. They talk through crisis response, coordination challenges, and the practical realities campus leaders face in the first hours and days after an incident.

Please note: This conversation was recorded at 5:00 PM on Dec. 18, before a suspect was formally identified.
