It's all the 'rave'

Sign up for Trine's new
emergency alert system

Trine University takes campus safety seriously, and as part of continuous efforts to improve communication and security, the university has partnered with Rave Mobile Alerts System to keep you up to date about severe weather, emergencies, closings and other campus information. Effective immediately, Rave will replace Text Alerts as the university’s system.

Rave specializes in higher education emergency communication and serves institutions such as Brown University and University of Massachusetts, among many others. Students, faculty and staff should have received an e-mail notifying them of the university’s partnership with Rave.

Like Text Alerts, Rave will send text messages to mobile devices and e-mail accounts, but we need YOU to update your information with Rave. This service is free and registration will take only a couple minutes.

“Campus communication and safety are our top priorities,” said Trine vice president for student services Randy White. “In addition to registering for this updated feature, we ask that our community members take time to review emergency procedures, which are posted in every building on campus. If you have a concern, please do not hesitate to contact our office.”

• Click FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD. This will generate an e-mail sent to you with a registration link.
• Check your e-mail for a message from no-reply@getrave.com and click the enclosed link within one hour.

• Be sure to add your parents’ cell phone numbers or e-mail addresses if they would like to be notified of happenings on campus directly to their mobile device.
• Students will not need to add their cell phone numbers, but faculty and staff will.

Standard or other messaging charges apply depending upon your wireless carrier plan and subscription details. Once registered, you can opt out of SMS messages at any time by texting STOP to 67283 or 226787.
