Communicating important messages to our students and employees always presents a challenge. Whether it’s due to the geographical layout of our campus, the busy schedules or the significant volume of email, key messages are sometimes lost.
Some universities are taking steps to address this issue by communicating with students using text messages. A workgroup with representatives from IT, Facilities, Residence Life, the Registrar's Office and Communications has been exploring opportunities for providing a text messaging service to our own University community.
With our emergency communications system, members of our University community (students, faculty and staff) can opt to receive emergency notifications (e.g. school closings and delays, power outages) from UML via email, text message and voicemail to home, office or mobile accounts.
