Campus Shooter Webinar Offered

Campus Shooter Webinar Offered

11/02/2015 

Would you know what to do if there was an armed attacker at SUNY Cortland?

The University Police Department and the College’s Public Relations Office are hosting a live webinar Thursday, Nov. 5, to explain how to stay safe should the unthinkable happen at SUNY Cortland.

This session will differ from the active shooter training sessions conducted by University Police over the last couple weeks in that it will be built around questions asked by students, faculty, staff and other members of the campus community.

To participate in the 2 p.m. webinar, simply use the link: www.cortland.edu/safety. It will give you access to streaming audio and video of the presentation.

You can submit questions before the event or ask them during the webinar using either email or Twitter. No questioner’s name will be shared publically, meaning you can essentially ask whatever you want anonymously.

We recommend faculty, staff and students send questions in advance to allow the College to prepare the best answers possible. Questions should be sent to public.relations@cortland.edu

Public relations staff will monitor email and pull questions through the end of the presentation. Faculty, staff and students may also use Twitter during the event. Simply send questions using #cortlandsafety.

The webinar will feature UPD Chief Steven Dangler and Public Relations Director Frederic Pierce. Members of the College Crisis Communications Team will be on hand to help answer questions.
