Our Team

I’m Arushi Mallarapu, a sophomore at Fairfield Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, Connecticut. I was first introduced to College911.net™ by my brother, Rushil, a college freshman, for whom this unaddressed cause was exceedingly pertinent. As an Emergency Medical Responder, learning about such heart-breaking incidents going unmeasured and not addressed publicly was appalling, and became a catalyst for my involvement. I’m proud to be part of this grassroots organization where hard work pays off in the most gratifying of ways. 

I work with College911.net™ because I was a close friend to Corey’s and the Hausman family. I was lost in confusion and disbelief after learning of the tragic news in September 2018. I recognize that college safety requires innovation and utmost recognition to provide the best experiences, security, and information to students and families. College911.net™ has a unique opportunity to empower Corey’s legacy, educate students and families, and create meaningful, progressive works. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2021 with a major in Real Estate Finance and minors in Entrepreneurship and Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

I am a freshman at Harvard College, planning to study a blend of
chemistry, physics, economics, and government. I joined College911.net™ both knowing it was an excellent cause with lots of momentum and in hopes of getting an idea of how well I was suited to political work. My main focus is on liaising with officials and policymakers in the hope of passing legislation mandating transparency and openness surrounding college safety.

Corey Hausman was one of my closest and without-a-doubt funnest friend for a decade before he passed away. This loss has perinantly impacted my life and contributing to College911.net™ is one way i can make a difference in honor of Corey. One of my contributions has been to attest to the lack of  evidence-based information about college accidents and deaths. Since my emediate career goal is to perform research, supporting this safety initiative through looking for relevant data is most fulfilling.

I’m Meridan Pengue, a senior at Newton Country Day School in Boston. As a previous neighbor and family friend of the Hausman’s I was deeply impacted by Corey’s tragedy and was motivated to help make a change in college safety. Through my involvement in College911.net™, I have learned the importance of emergency care and spreading awareness. As an upcoming college student, I’m confident this organization will make a difference and saves lives.

I work with College911.net™ because it is an essential organization working to improve the safety, health, and awareness of US college students and their families.  When I heard of the tragic and devastating story of the Hausman family, I wanted to help effectuate change and bring college safety awareness and preparedness to families of current and incoming college students.  As a freshman at Grayson County High School in Leitchfield, Kentucky, I have worked with KYA model government advocacy program on advancing the reforms the COREY Safety Act calls for at both the state and federal levels.  I am committed to advocating for critical legislation which will save the lives of teens and young adults.

My name is Ivy Sun, and I am a rising sophomore at Hopkins school. College911.net™ is such a personally relevant and meaningful cause for me, as a student. I believe that college safety is an important yet unaddressed issue, and I am proud to be spreading awareness and helping young adults, as well as their families, prepare and be ready for the risks of college.

After seeing the aftermath of my father’s car accident and recognizing the ubiquity of speeding, I researched, conducted experiments, and communicated with my headmaster, state legislators, police officers, and even the US Secretary of Transportation about the issue, to implement or advocate for a policy that amends the current transportation safety enforcement program. Especially with the pandemic, the surge in reckless driving behaviors became more apparent, which further aggravates speeding – this calls for a necessary adaptation where voices from young adults must be heard to drive that change. Upon attending a Yale Traffic Safety Committee conference, I was introduced to College911.net™ – an organization where I believe I could receive the support needed to impose change, spread awareness, and garner traction by working with like-minded peers and adults.
