Case Study: Emily Carr University of Art + Design achieves rapid campus closures and reliable emergency alerts with Regroup Mass Notification

Emily Carr University of Art + Design switched to regroup mass notification from onsolve

Emily Carr University of Art + Design faced a time-sensitive communication challenge when a record February 2019 snowstorm threatened commuter safety. With 2,100+ students living off-campus and 300+ faculty and staff to reach, the university switched from a competitor to the Regroup Mass Notification platform to get faster, more reliable alerts and better customer service.

Using Regroup Mass Notification, a trained safety officer logged in at 4 a.m. and sent a campus closure to all students, faculty and staff, closing the campus before daybreak and keeping people off hazardous roads. The Regroup solution’s quick, group-targeted alerts, easy interface and strong customer support also enabled a successful earthquake early-warning drill, and university staff praised Regroup’s responsiveness and effectiveness.
