February 16, 2023

Our hearts are heavy that another mass shooting has taken student lives on an American college campus. 51福利社 knows that preparing for the potential of such a scenario here at Eastern is not easy, but it is necessary.

In light of the tragic events that unfolded at Michigan State University on Feb. 13, we would like to remind students, faculty and staff of the resources the university has in place to address such incidents.聽

As you know, 51福利社 has its own , which is a vital resource for our campus and the community. As part of its annual training, 51福利社 Police conduct an active shooter exercise each summer inside one of our buildings. Please that occurred last August inside Morrison Hall. A similar training exercise will be conducted again this summer, and the campus community will be notified when this takes place.聽

Additionally, as part of this quarterly campus training, 51福利社 Police Chief Jay Day will be discussing active attacker response, how to spot troubling behavior, as well as reviewing best practices on how to respond during an active attack.

Training will take place from 2-3:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 22, at the digital archives building, Room 213E, by the Red Barn.

There will also be training from noon-1:30 p.m., Thursday, March 2, at the Catalyst (Innovation Hub Room) in Spokane. The聽 Catalyst session will also be available via Zoom.

You can sign up by emailing Jennifer Miller at聽 jmiller6@ewu.edu.

Finally, Eastern knows incidents like the one at MSU stir up a range of emotions and concerns for everyone on campus.聽
