Emergency Notification System
The personal safety of students, faculty and staff is the top priority of Marylhurst University. In addition to providing you with a secure work and study environment on campus, we want to take every precaution to ensure your safety in the event of a campus emergency.
An emergency communications system has been established at Marylhurst to provide you with timely notification if an unforeseen event occurs that would close the campus and threaten safety. We have contracted with a company called ConnectED® to immediately deliver e-mails and phone calls to students, staff and faculty in the event of a campus emergency.
The ConnectED® system will be used only to contact you in the case of an emergency on our particular campus.
In order for this service to be effective, we must maintain up-to-date contact information. Please regularly check and update your contact information in your My Marylhurst profile. If you have questions about updating your information, please contact the Help Desk.
We will be testing this new emergency communications system the week of November 2, 2009. At some point that week, you will receive a test message via both phone and e-mail. The message will make clear that the system is being tested, and that an actual emergency is not occurring. As a precaution, we will use this system to contact students currently taking classes as well as those who took classes the previous quarter and those who have registered for the upcoming quarter.
If you have questions about the ConnectED® system, please contact Liz Kyle at 503.699.6256.
Inclement Weather
The new service will not be used to inform you about weather related events, such as excessive snowfall that may close the campus, that are widely reported by local media. For weather related closures, you should continue to rely on our Web site and our Weather Line at 503.636.8140.
