Lesley University Emergency Alert System

As part of the continuing effort for campus safety, Lesley University is subscribed to an Emergency Alert System. The system is designed to assist universities to deliver high-level safety alerts to the campus community. The service, powered by Send Word Now (SWN) allows Public Safety to send on-campus emergency alerts to Students, Faculty and Staff simultaneously via all familiar communications methods such as email, text messaging, SMS, and phone (cell, Blackberry, PDA, pager, etc.)

Public Safety, in coordination with Lesley Emergency Operations and municipal emergency responders, will issue important community alerts on the status of a high level emergencies via Send Word Now notices to students, faculty ands staff who have registered their personal cell and phone numbers, email and text message addresses. Community enrollment has now begun. Students, faculty and staff on the Cambridge and Boston campuses are asked to provide their personal contact information.

The information you provide will establish the means by which you will receive campus emergency alerts and notifications. The information you provide will remain private. The system will be used for emergency alerts and notifications only. **Lesley Storm Emergency Closing notices occuring Monday to Friday outside of business hours 8:30am - 5pm will be sent as email and text messages only. Currently, weekend class cancellations are not part of LU-EAS notifications. Public Safety strongly encourages all Lesley University students, faculty and staff to participate in this important campus safety program.
