Campus Security has introduced a new way of contacting students on important alerts pertaining to the University of Nebraska Omaha, text messaging straight to students' phones.
"Once students sign up, the alerts go right to their cell phones with quick, efficient, short text messages," said Wade Robinson, associate vice chancellor for student affairs. "It's a convenient system for everyone because it reaches people, whether on or off campus. We know students love their cell phones, so now we can reach them with important information that can help keep them safe."
This system can be especially beneficial to student workers. Students who have jobs on campus can receive these text messages letting them know if campus will be open or closed that day and whether they need to go in to work or not. They will also know of any emergencies on campus that could be dealing with the department they work in.
The system as a whole is beneficial to all UNO students. It is an easy and fast method of alert for any type of occurance at UNO, whether it be weather or emergency related.
Take the time to sign up or at least find out more information on this new form of alert. Visit the website http://www.e2campus.com/my/unomaha to sign up or find out more.
The system will only work as long as students, faculty, and staff at UNO take the time to register. It is a system that will benefit everyone in the long run.
