Emergency Media Information Center
The Media Information Center is the location where media gather in one room to be briefed on an emergency. This will facilitate the rapid dissemination of timely, accurate information and help alleviate confusion and uncertainty.

Our goal and commitment to the University community is to keep you and your family current with the state of our emergency and provide as much pertinent information to keep you updated.
The University standard is to activate the Emergency Alert System (EAS) when ongoing circumstances compromise normal business operations affecting all or a portion of our campuses. The Emergency Alert System will notify registered individuals by using text messages, emails and prerecorded voice messages onto cell phones, landline home phones, pagers or PDAs.
