Administration Tests Emergency Alert System
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the administration conducted a test of the college’s emergency alert system. In addition to a siren, which rang across campus, emails, text messages, and calls were made to those enrolled in the system. Though the college runs a system-wide test every semester, this semester’s test was also designed to help restore the campus community’s faith in the alert system following its unintentional activation on Aug. 26.

Monday, Nov. 7 kicked off the start of the Class Access and Resource Center’s (CARC) First Generation and Low Income (FLI) week. Over the course of the week, the center will hold various workshops and events designed to celebrate FLI students and forge community while providing resources for navigating college life.
College Releases Masking Survey Results
Chief Student Affairs Officer and Dean of Students Liz Agosto sent an email to the campus community on Tuesday, Nov. 8, relaying the results of the college’s Oct. 24 survey on the administration’s current masking policy.
