Communication in an Emergency
In the event of an emergency affecting Alverno College, we will communicate in a variety of ways so that you receive messages in a timely manner. Emergency notifications are limited to such things as severe weather alerts, emergency building concerns, intruders or potential pandemics. Following are the means of communication we currently have.
- send messages to your Alverno email address
- place announcements on Alverno’s home page (alverno.edu)
- send voice mail and text messaging to phone numbers registered on Blackboard Connect, a service for colleges and universities for their emergency communication
- send “pop-up” messages to campus computers
- make campus announcements through an outdoor speaker system and/or bullhorns
Registration directions for Blackboard Connect voice and text messages are available here.
