Other College Relations Functions

Crisis Communication

College Relations manages crisis communication for the College as a unit of the President's Executive Team. A crisis is an unusual experience caused by a deliberate or accidental human action or a force of nature.

When the College experiences a crisis, we inform the campus community, the media and the public as quickly as possible with information important to maintaining the safety of our students and employees and protecting our campus facilities.
