Greetings,

The recent events at Delaware State University reminded us again about how important it is to be prepared for emergencies. Emergency management and planning continue to be of major concern to colleges and universities throughout our state and nation.

Central implemented an emergency preparedness plan in 1999. The plan, which was reviewed and updated in 2001, 2006, and 2007, details our responses to all hazards, including, most recently, hostile intruders. The approach applies an incident command concept that is widely used by emergency services throughout the nation. The plan provides flexibility that allows adjustments for small and large scale events and allows university leaders the ability to network with emergency response personnel. It complies with the standards set by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as mandated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Central's police chief, Steve Rittereiser, is responsible for coordinating our responses to emergencies that might range from natural disasters to incidents such as those recently witnessed at Virginia Tech and Delaware State. He relies on staff in the university's public relations office along with members of the information technology staff to provide direct communications to the campus community. These individuals have been part of the emergency planning and crisis team, some for several years. They have trained together and have also invoked portions of the campus crisis communications in some lesser incidents that have occurred on and off campus. Emergency messages are delivered on campus to university personnel via e-mail, office telephones, the campus emergency information line, through local radio station broadcasts, and by alerts on the university's Internet home page.

Starting this fall, Central added its newest feature, the Alert Notification System, for parents, students, and others interested in receiving real-time e-mail emergency messages pertaining to safety-related incidents that occur on the Ellensburg campus or at our university centers. It is another opportunity for us to communicate effectively in a crisis and to keep the public informed. This is an "opt-in" program that allows anyone to sign up at www.cwu.edu/~its/emerg-notice.html.

Central continues to be a leader in the area of emergency preparedness. Later this year, the Department of Public Safety and Police Services will employ a full-time emergency management coordinator to allow additional expansion of our emergency management strategies to include activities identified as essential by the emergency management task force last spring. Those strategies include exploring a text messaging alert notification system and working with other state higher education institutions on identifying and implementing best practices in emergency management.

For additional information about Central's emergency response procedures, please contact the Department of Public Safety and Police Services at 509-963-2959 or visit the Web site at www.cwu.edu/~police. And please keep us informed as situations arise that you believe we need to address.

Sincerely,

Jerilyn S. McIntyre
President

CWU TOP STORIES

DEADLINE APPROACHING TO ATTEND "CRIMSON AND BLACK GALA"

Several years ago, a commissioned outside feasibility study concluded that CWU could secure $18 million in private contributions through a five-year effort, given the right conditions. Central's plan and mission were clearly identified in what could be enhanced through philanthropy: excellence, opportunity, innovation, and the personal touch, attributes Central's graduates readily acknowledge.

The CWU Foundation began following the pattern of campaigns at major universities around the country with a "quiet phase" including research and visits with past donors and other friends of the university. The campaign began collecting contributions in 2005.

In two years, contributions have surpassed the $18 million mark--the original working goal for five years--far more than Central has ever received before.

To officially begin the public phase of the "Transforming Lives" campaign, an evening of elegance, celebration, and dance will take place Friday, October 5, in the Student Union and Recreation Center Ballroom. The "Crimson and Black Gala" is dedicated to and in celebration of all the donors who have already made the campaign so successful and to seek further and expanded participation to meet even more challenges as the campaign goes forward.

The gala will include a reception at 6 p.m., for reconnecting with old friends and making new ones; dinner at 7 p.m., at which the inspirational story of Kitty Moe and her efforts on Central's behalf will be told; and dancing to follow, with music provided by CWU's own Dave Rawlinson Band.

Tickets are $50 per person for the black-tie optional event. For more information or to make reservations, call ext. 2762. The reservation deadline is Monday, October 1, at noon.

AUTHOR TO MAKE "ONE BOOK, ONE CAMPUS" KEYNOTE ADDRESS

The 2007-08 "One Book, One Campus" project is Tim Egan's The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl. Egan won the National Book Award, considered the nation's highest literary honor, for his history of people who lived through the Dust Bowl.

Egan will make the "One Book, One Campus" keynote address on Wednesday, October 3. The free, public presentation is slated for 7 p.m. in the Student Union and Recreation Center Ballroom.

Egan is the author of five books, including The Good Rain: Across Time and Terrain in the Pacific Northwest, which has been a regional bestseller for twelve years. In addition, his work Lasso the Wind: Away to the New West won the 1999 Washington Governors Writing Award.

For the last eighteen years, Egan has worked as a West Coast writer for the New York Times. In 2001, he won a Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of reporters who produced a series on how race is lived in America.

Prior to his CWU address, Egan will be featured at a public book signing at 3 p.m. in the Wildcat Shop. His presentation is sponsored by the Office of the Provost. For more information call ext. 1685.

The "One Book, One Campus" project is designed to cultivate reading and critical-thinking skills among first-year Central students. However, all Central community members are encouraged to participate in the shared reading experience as a way to generate discussion inside and outside the classroom.

ROADTRIP NATION RETURNING TO CWU

For the first time in two years, Roadtrip Nation is coming back to Central. The neon green bus will be parked at the Student Union and Recreation Center east patio on Thursday, October 4, allowing university students to talk with the Roadtrip Nation crew and tour the bus.

Roadtrip Nation developed out of the experience of college graduates Mike Marriner, Brian McAllister, and Nathan Gebhard, who spent three months and 17,000 RV miles interviewing more than eighty people, from a variety of careers, who shared where they were in their 20s and how they found their callings.

In 2005, they published their first book, Finding The Open Road, which included interviews with everyone from singer/songwriter Patrick Park to television personality Larry King.

Roadtrip Nation has evolved into a movement on college campuses, where students apply to hit-the-road in several Roadtrip Nation recreational vehicles to interview their own list of leaders from across the country and, now, around the world. Their experiences are then shared through a PBS television series, in other publications, and online at www.roadtripnation.com.

Central is one of 100 Roadtrip Nation charter schools, which allows qualifying students to be selected for a Roadtrip Nation all-expenses-paid internship.

NOTICE CORNER

BE AWARE OF TEMPORARY TRAFFIC REVISIONS From October 1 to 5, work will take place to upgrade the traffic signals at the intersections of University Way and "D" St. and University Way and Main St.

The improvements at University Way and "D" St. include the installation of pedestrian push buttons and signals, and the installation of vehicle detection loops, while those on University Way and Main St. will also include installing protected left turn arrows.

The improvements are designed to aid vehicular traffic flow at both intersections, while also providing sufficient time for pedestrians to safely cross at those intersections.

On Thursday and Friday, October 4 and 5, the contractor will excavate a portion of the intersection of University Way and "D" St. to allow for installation of new signal wiring.

During that time traffic signal will not be operational, so flaggers will assist during peak traffic periods, and temporary stop signs will be installed during non-peak and evening hours.

The traffic signal equipment necessary to complete the improvements has been ordered, but delivery is not expected until December.
