Dear Campus Community,

The College has been working to fully develop the College Emergency Management Plan adopted by the Board of Trustees in October, 2011.  Numerous programs and trainings are in process and I am pleased to announce that All-Campus trainings will commence next month, and continue through the summer and into the fall.

Safety & Security and Emergency Management  Director, Robin Blacksmith will be conducting an All Hazards training for ALL faculty and staff.  It is an excellent overview of what you should be prepared for in various emergency situations.  The training is one hour long and will be presented on numerous dates and times. 

There is nothing more important to this effort than a well-trained staff.  Should the College ever be faced with a critical emergency, saving lives will depend upon our preparation, training and readiness.  In support of the campus goal of staff preparedness, your attendance at one of the trainings listed below is mandatory.  Please review the training schedule below and mark your calendar(s) for the session that best fits your schedule.
