In the past the College has provide cell phones to employees whose responsibilities required their use. Prompted by IRS guidelines, the College will discontinue this practice and will, instead, provide a taxable cell phone allowance to those employees. This new policy requires that employees currently holding College-provide cell phones take some actions prior to July 25. For details, follow this link.

The College recently signed an agreement with NTI Group to utilitize their ConnectED emergency notification service. This service will allow each student, faculty member and staff member to register multiple email addresses and telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers) to receive emergency notifications. College administrators will then use the service to quickly direct emergency messages via email, text message and telephone to those who have registered. In signing the agreement, the College becomes the fifth member of the Ohio Five consortium to engage the ConnectED service.
Implementation will get underway early in the spring semester. The first step will be to solicit the relevant telephone numbers and email addresses from members of the Wooster community. The implementation will be overseen by the Emergency Response Steering Committee headed by Dean of Students Kurt Holmes. One of the challenges we face in the implementation is organizing our use of the service in ways that accommodate the College’s telephone and email systems effectively.
