Campus Emergency Notification System in Place
Eastern has installed a new emergency notification system.
Eastern has three ways to notify the campus in an event of an emergency.
The Emergency Notification System includes a siren/public address system that sounds a "pulse tone" to notify students, staff and faculty to check their Eastern e0mail for important information. The e-mail will provide information about the emergency. A phone tree has also been put into place to notify key individuals in departments across campus, who will then post information for the public across campus.
At 10:30 a.m. on the first Tuesday of every month, the siren/public address system will be tested. The siren will sound, followed by a general test message.
The first test will take place Tuesday.
Financial aid workshops for parents to start today
Eastern's Office of Financial Aid is offering two free workshops to help parents apply for federal and state funds. The first workshop is from 6 to 8 p.m. today in the Arcola-Tuscola room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
The workshops are supposed to help any parent with college-bound students regardless of where their child plans to attend school.
The office staff members will guide parents step-by-step through the process of completing Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The next workshop is scheduled for Feb. 25.
Contact Cathy Gordon at 581-3714 for more information.
