Find us on Facebook under "Albion College Campus Safety" and become a fan.
January 7, 2010 - College closed for Thursday evening; to reopen at 10 a.m. Friday
In light of the winter storm and travel advisories Albion College will close at 4 p.m. today (Thursday, January 7, 2010), and we will have a two-hour delay on Friday, January 8, with the College opening for business hours at 10 a.m. We are taking this precaution to ensure our employees’ safety. As is the case anytime the College closes, some key employees may be required to work. You will be notified by your supervisor if you are required to work.
Full-time hourly employees may use any available vacation, sick, or personal time to get paid for lost time.
Supervisors are asked to pass this information along to employees who do not typically use the computer for their day-to-day work as well as any employees not here today but who are scheduled to work tomorrow. This message will also be communicated to staff via the ConnectEd Message service which will include sending a phone message to staff home phone numbers.
As in any inclement weather situation, the weather conditions where you are may be different from the conditions in Albion. Please use your judgment as you venture out tomorrow morning and contact your supervisor if the road conditions are poor in your area.
Please be safe during this winter weather advisory.
In case of emergency during this time, individuals needing to contact College employees should call the Office of Campus Safety at 517/629-1234. Campus Safety will remain fully operational.
September 15, 2008-- Outdoor Warning System
Albion College has installed an Outdoor Warning System on campus to alert faculty, staff, and students of a life-threatening situation occurring on or near campus. The Outdoor Warning System has the capacity to broadcast a siren sound, to play a series of tones, and to be utilized as a public address (P.A.) system. The College will utilize the siren sound as the primary means of alerting the campus community in an emergency. The brief series of tones, known as Special Information Tones (SIT), are the tones heard when a telephone number is called that has been disconnected. The SIT will normally be activated to alert the campus community that a message is going to be broadcast via the P.A. system.
Please note that this siren has a different sound than the City of Albion emergency siren, which is activated every evening at 10:00 p.m.; when Calhoun County is under a Tornado Warning; and for major fires occurring in the city. It is important that everyone in our community be familiar with the sound of the campus siren and to be able to distinguish it from the City of Albion siren.
Albion College will conduct an initial test of this system at 5:00 p.m. Friday, Sept 19, 2008. Beginning in October, the system will be tested at 5:00 p.m. on the last Friday of the month. The test will include activation of the SIT, a P.A. announcement of the test, and activation of the siren for up to thirty seconds.
Further information, including when the Outdoor Warning System may be activated and what you should do when you hear it, is available as a Word document , or in PDF format .
