Episode 159: Andrew McMahan, Associate Vice President for Global Resiliency and Security
You Matter! | Andrew McMahan: Building Resilience Through Communication This week on You Matter!, I welcome Andrew McMahan, Associate Vice President for Global Resiliency and Security in NYU's Department of Campus Safety. Andrew leads the critical programs and technologies that help protect and support the NYU community around the world, including the Safe NYU app, NYU Traveler, and the university's mass communication systems. At a global university where students, faculty, and staff study, work, and travel across multiple continents, effective communication is more than a convenience, it's an essential component of safety. Whether responding to an emergency, navigating international travel, or sharing timely information during evolving situations, these tools play a vital role in keeping the NYU community informed, connected, and prepared. In this episode, Andrew offers an inside look at the technology and strategy behind NYU's global resiliency efforts. We discuss how emergency communication systems are developed and managed, the importance of preparedness before a crisis occurs, and the role innovation plays in strengthening campus safety on a worldwide scale. Join us for an insightful conversation about the intersection of technology, communication, and leadership, and discover how thoughtful planning and timely information help create a safer, more resilient community for everyone.
