Outdoor Warning System Test & Maintenance – Thursday, September 26th

Campus Safety will be performing maintenance and testing of the outdoor warning siren on Thursday, September 26th, at 12:00 PM.  This is estimated to take up to 30 minutes.  In an effort to minimize disruption to the campus community, the alarm should not sound for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Additional notifications will be sent via text and email through BlackBoard.  A follow-up email will be sent to the campus community once the maintenance and testing is complete.

Thank you for your patience.
