Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) sets the standards for America's Safe Campuses First out in the "America's Safe Campuses" series is Virginia Commonwealth University, one of the nation’s top research universities enrolling more than 32,000 students. Located in Richmond, the school is spread across two urban campuses - the Monroe Park Campus and MCV Campus.   Multi-Channel Approach with Award Winning Notification System Virginia Commonwealth University has worked not only to create a clear policy around their alert notification system, but also a solid and proactive plan regarding who is involved in the alert notification dispatch and who they need to reach. They realize the different situations that students, employees, surrounding neighborhoods, and communities can be in and have a multi-channel approach to reach their constituents. In the process of creating a safe campus, VCU needed a reliable and trusted notification system such as e2Campus uAlert™. Through one interface, uAlert instantly sends alerts to multiple channels reaching students, faculty, staff, visitors, parents, media, first responders, and others – wherever they are located.   Endpoints Used by Virginia Commonwealth University Mobile Phone (SMS Text Message) Voice Call Desktop Pop Up Digital Sign Email Beacon Public Address System Pager Personal Digital Assistant Social Media (Facebook & Twitter) Web Site See how e2Campus works.
