Emergency Notification Systems, Vendor Selection, and Implementation

Wesleyan University and Tufts University implemented emergency notification technology to alert students, faculty, staff, and parents of campus-wide emergencies. Wesleyan purchased Connect-ED in December 2006 and Tufts purchased Send Word Now in August 2007. This presentation will focus on what we learned during implementation and campus-wide tests. We’ll cover the technology’s limitations and discussion future enhancements.
