Gun on campus - email notification isn't enough particularly when the email doesn't reach the inbox
by DeniseMichelle wasn't at SFCC yesterday, she was at work. She did however hear all about the gun on campus from friends. She did not hear about it from administrators of SFCC.
She did not get an email in either her SFCC account or her personal account.
She did not get a phone call on her cell phone or on her home phone.
The emergency text message service was not used.
A friend of hers was at school, attending classes and roaming the campus, and she didn't hear about the gunman until she got home from school...
I'll be interested in hearing what was discussed at the meeting that occurred today, at 11:30am and at the Student Government meeting going on right about now.

Denise, you must be beside yourself. Tell us what happened at the meeting?

Update: text alert service
It sounds like the problem with the text messaging wasn't that they chose not to use it but that the system for using it wasn't in place. (Even though I've seen numerous notices on the SFCC site that indicate this was one type of thing text alerts would be used for.)
The students received test text messages today.
Also, someone who works on the grounds told Michelle that they were installing emergency alert sirens across the campus - and were actually working on the installation of those when the situation occurred.
