ϳԹ will host Emergency Management Forums on Tuesday, April 22, to help students, staff and faculty prepare for emergencies that could impact the College. The forums are designed to increase awareness, build confidence and ensure the campus community understands ϳԹ’s emergency plans and response expectations.
