Campus Community Notifications<br />
Campus Community Notifications is a program designed to notify the Wilkes<br />
Community of any safety and/or security issues on campus or in the surrounding<br />
community.<br />
Notifications are posted using several methods depending on the type and/or severity of<br />
the issue. A system of printed fliers, announcements on the Wilkes Portal under the<br />
heading of “Urgent News” and text messages are issued in a timely manner. All<br />
messages will include a description of the issue and safety and security tips.<br />
The text messaging system is an added feature for issuing notices. No one should<br />
depend solely on the system. Always refer to My Wilkes Portal, Wilkes University web<br />
site, and Public Safety at 408-4999 (ext. 4999) for emergency announcements. While<br />
Wilkes community members are encouraged to enroll in the text messaging system it is<br />
a voluntary program, enrollment is not mandatory. Text messaging fees may apply<br />
depending on the user’s cellular phone service. A link is provided on My Wilkes Portal to<br />
the text messaging system enrollment page. Please refer to all disclaimers on the<br />
enrollment page before enrolling.<br />
Safe Escort Service<br />
The Wilkes University Office of Public Safety operates a “Safe Escort Service” on campus<br />
for any member of the University Community who requires an escort from dusk until<br />
dawn. This escort may consist of a vehicle or walking escort depending on the activities<br />
at the time of the call. During busy periods, callers may experience a delay in the arrival<br />
of the escort; escorts are provided for safety, not convenience. To request an escort, dial<br />
the Public Safety Office at ext. 4999.<br />
