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 />
