REGISTER FOR EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION

CSUSM students and employees are encouraged to register online for notification in case of an emergency. Since the MIR3 system activated on 11/5, more than 1300 individuals have registered. Only those who have self-registered will be notified in an emergency. Go to http://www.csusm.edu/ep/Alert and register today!

Emergency Notification System Implemented

Beginning Monday, November 5, CSUSM students and employees can self-register online for notification in case of an emergency. Go to http://www.csusm.edu/ep/Alert to register. During an emergency, MIR3 (the off-site system) will immediately contact all those who have registered. Individuals will be able to update their secure file to keep the information current.

Wildfire Recovery Listing Board

CSUSM and Off-Campus Housing 101 have partnered to provide a Wildfire Recovery website (listing board) at http://www.csusm.och101.com/community/index.html. This site creates a venue for individuals to list resources and support they have avialable to those in our campus community who have lost their homes or suffered other losses. Those who have fire-related needs can also post to this website.

Virtual Career Expo Offered

Due to the cancellation of several campus recruitment events last week, the Career Center will host a Virtual Career Expo from November 4 through November 29 via CougarJobs at www.csusm.edu/careers. Students can submit their resumes to the employers who were to visit CSUSM at the Career Expo. Instructions are available to register and submit resumes to the employers. Questions from CSUSM students and employers can be directed to Brenda Dumas, Employer Relations and Events Coordinator for the Career Center at bdumas@csusm.edu or 760-750-4900. Also, a Graduate School Fair will be held in San Diego on November 1, 2008, which is hosted by Idealist.org.
