Nov 26, 2007 - Claremont, CA - Harvey Mudd College and the other six members of The Claremont Colleges consortium will conduct a test of the Connect-ED® emergency notification system on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 3 p.m.

During the event, a test message will be sent to all members of the colleges via e-mail and a voice mail message to residence hall and office phones. Persons who have added their cell phones to the system will be notified there as well.

The Claremont Colleges implemented the Connect-ED® emergency notification system shortly after the tragic events at Virginia Tech earlier this year. The system allows each college to convey time-sensitive information within minutes, through a single phone call. 
 
HMC students, faculty and staff who have a campus or dormitory telephone extension and college e-mail address are automatically added to the Connect-ED® service. Member of the HMC community are encouraged to add their cell phone to the notification list. Additionally, persons without a telephone extension or college e-mail account can sign up to receive a voice or text message on their cell phone.

HMC students, faculty and staff can visit the Connect-ED Contact Information web page to add cell or home phone numbers. Community members can also add additional e-mail addresses. For more information on the Connect-ED® system, visit the NTI Group website or contact HMC Emergency and Safety Coordinator Melonee Cruse at melonee_cruse@hmc.edu or (909) 607-0403.
