The Office of Emergency Preparedness and Safety will conduct its annual Fire Life Safety Building Evacuation Exercise on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 10:40 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. This exercise helps ensure that students, faculty, staff, and visitors know how to respond and where to go in the event of a fire or other life safety emergency requiring evacuation.
The exercise begins at 10:40 a.m. with the activation of fire alarms in the following buildings:
Jacobs, Keck, Sprague, Parsons, Galileo, Olin, Beckman, McGregor, Shanahan Center, Kingston, and the Platt Campus Center.
All individuals in academic and administrative buildings are expected to evacuate promptly and proceed to the nearest evacuation site. After evacuating, please check in by either scanning the QR located at the evacuation site, or by checking in directly with an Evacuation Coordinator. Community members will be able to resume their normal schedules once the exercise has concluded. Please note that residence halls are not included in this drill.
For more information, please contact Kelly Salazar, emergency preparedness and safety manager.

The Office of Human Resources is excited to offer HR Connections, a gathering designed to provide a welcoming space where employees can connect with HR, share feedback and engage in open conversations about their workplace experiences. Whether over breakfast or afternoon tea, our goal is to foster meaningful dialogue, build relationships and better understand the needs and perspectives of our campus community.
Each session is intentionally kept small to encourage open discussion while bringing together a variety of ideas and experiences. Gatherings are hosted by Dana Nagengast, along with another member of the HR team. Participation is voluntary, and staff are asked to RSVP in advance.
