Campus meetings were planned in response to the shooting, Sessoms said.
"Clearly, we're doing some things well, but we need to do other things better," he said.
Ali Muhammad, 18, a freshman from Washington, D.C., said that since the school year started he has heard of at least three fights involving cliques from New Jersey and the District of Columbia.
Earlier in the week, Muhammad said, a student from New Jersey cut the lip of a student from Washington with a key. "They said it was over a card game," he said.
He lives in the same dorm as Pugh but said he did not know him well. "I know he didn't have anything involved in the incident ... that led up to the shooting," Muhammad said.
Muhammad suggested that the violence may continue.
"I think there's going to be something else that takes place," he said. "When someone gets shot, there's always somebody that wants some revenge."
