The new system, known as AT&T Rave, integrates existing Banner contact information, securely enables users to log into their OSU Alert account with their ONID login, and is capable of sending campus-specific messages. We need your help to implement this new notification system and request that all students, faculty and staff verify their emergency contact information. Please go to http://main.oregonstate.edu/alerts/osu-alert-portal and follow the instructions to review/update contact information. We suggest that you add a cell phone or other text-capable device to receive an urgent message if an incident is under way. Note that the new system has additional features that users may want to enable in order to customize their notification. If you have an questions, contact the OSU Emergency Preparedness Manager Mike Bamberger, Michael.bamberger@oregonstate.edu.

Beginning on April 5, 2016, Oregon State University will participate in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). The NSSE is a national study focused on understanding the ways in which students engage both inside and outside the classroom and what they gain from these experiences. This survey will provide valuable information which will be shared with campus partners across the university in order to inform student success efforts. All first-year students and senior students who applied for spring or summer 2016 graduation by the end of the day on March 30, 2016 will be invited to participate.
Our goal is to increase student participation in this important study. We ask for your help in promoting the NSSE by using resources within the NSSE promotional toolkit to spread the word on social media, through digital displays, and by displaying posters in key student service locations. Each department on Corvallis campus will be receiving an 8.5”x11” poster via campus mail. I have been reaching out to many people individually about this effort so I apologize if this request it redundant or if you receive this message through multiple listservs.
Please help us amplify student voices by promoting student participation in the NSSE. Thank you in advance, and please let me know if you have any questions about promoting the NSSE.
