Campus Emergency Notification System to be tested today
The second test of Eastern's new emergency notification system will take place today at 10:30 a.m.
Eastern has three ways to notify the campus in an event of an emergency.
The Emergency Notification System includes a siren/public address system that sounds a "pulse tone" to notify students, staff and faculty to check their Eastern email for important information. The e-mail will provide information about the emergency. A phone tree has also been put into place to notify key individuals in departments across campus.
The individuals would then post information for the public across campus.
At 10:30 a.m. on the first Tuesday of every month, the siren/public address system will be tested. The siren will sound, followed by a general test message.
Statewide Tornado Warning Test at 10 a.m. today
A tornado warning will be disseminated to all broadcasters in Illinois as well as the Illinois NOAA Radio transmitters at 10 a.m. this morning.
The National Weather Service in Chicago, Quad Cities and Lincoln will issue the test for the counties in Illinois.
Informational meeting on Student Film Festival today
A mandatory informational meeting for students interested in participating in the Student Film Festival is at 9 p.m. today in the Greenup Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Students participating in the festival will be able to create their own movie for a cash prize.
The movie should last no longer than 20 minutes.
The first place winner will have their movie placed in a national film showcase and will receive a $250 gift certificate to Wal-Mart. The second place winner will receive a $150 gift certificate to Wal-Mart. The third place winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to Wal-Mart.
This is the first year of the festival and is being put together by the University Board Movies Committee.
