First things first: I cannot believe it’s taken me this many months to work a song title into a blog post. I’m kind of disappointed in me.
Now, on to my blog. As I’m sure many of you know, Boston University has a university-wide alert system that gets activated in the case of an emergency on campus. Ringing true to our blog title, here is your FYI of the day – tomorrow, October 12th, BU is going to be conducting an university-wide test of the system.
It’s something that the U.S. Department of Education requires us to do annually. All students should have provided BU with an up-to-date e-mail address and cell phone number. Tomorrow, at 10:50 AM, don’t be surprised if you get a few texts, a phone call, and an email from the BU Alert system. (Anyone who’s ever had a clingy ex-girlfriend has probably been through something similar.)
If for some reason you don’t get contacted, and don’t receive the test messages tomorrow, you should go ahead and email swn@bu.edu with the message “Failed to receive SWN alert.”
Oh, and if your Wednesday schedule finds you in a class with a professor who’s really strict about cell phones going off, you might want to put your phone on vibrate around 10:50 AM. Although…you never know…their phone might go off, too.
(Pssst…if you want any additional information about the System Test, BU Today has a great article up.)
Until next time, darlin’ Terriers,
