E-Alert will undergo a routine test at College Coffee later this month. A record number of users, just less than 4,500, are currently enrolled with the emergency response system, an increase of almost 1,000 compared to last semester, according to Chris Fulkerson, assistant vice president for technology. There will be announcements prior to the test, which will include the two sirens on campus, located on Alumni and East Gyms, and E-Alert messages, which can be received via text messages or emails.

While getting acquainted with campus, I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with several new and delightful people.
