BECOME PART OF THE MTSU TEXT-MESSAGING NETWORK
Safety alerts on
the MTSU campus can now be received on cell phones via MTSU’s
Emergency Text Messaging Service.
Campus safety
alerts range from a security breach to cancellation of classes
due to severe weather. Users who elect this option and provide
contact information may be assured that their information will
not be shared. An email/PipelineMT username is required for
access to this service.
MTSU’s Emergency
Text Messaging Service will not replace any current notification
methods but will be used as one of several alert systems already
in place, including email, Web site, tornado siren, and media.
“In our efforts to
keep our campus as safe as possible, especially in today’s
uncertain world, we must be able to notify students, faculty and
staff in a timely and responsible manner,” President Sidney A.
McPhee said. “To become part of this vital communications
network, however, you must opt in to the program.”
