School Districts: Where Unity Meets Safety

With its interest in a notification system piqued by the tragic mass shooting at Virginia Tech, this community college wanted to be able to reach its students, faculty and staff quickly and easily to keep them safe from harm. But it was an extremely dangerous tornado — not a gunman — that demonstrated the value of Regroup to the Spartanburg community.

With a diverse set of communications needs, Charlotte Country Day School needed a versatile platform for campus day-to-day communication as well as emergency alerting.

Atlantic Cape Community College needed a mass notification platform to contact its faculty, staff and more than 6,500 students and it wanted to do it in a way that would reach the right groups of people. It chose Regroup for essential communication, and also a bit of fun.

When it comes to one-off emergencies, such as a building closure, or ongoing concerns, including the COVID-19 pandemic response, the Wilmington University found the communications system it wanted with Regroup Mass Notification.

Regroup provided Linn-Benton University with a modern solution that is easy to use and capable of managing their needs. With roughly 12,000 students, faculty, and staff, communication challenges had to be overcome to keep everyone safe and informed.

With 10 campuses and more than 10,000 students, faculty and staff, the historic and award-winning college sought out a solution for daily mass notifications. The college system switched to Regroup from another platform in 2017, due to Regroup’s functionality, ease-of-use, and because of its two-way communication capabilities. That two-way communication allows the senders and recipients, including faculty, safety officers and students, to text back and forth.

Redlands Community College was already using Regroup for everyday communications. But, when an early ice storm crippled utilities on campus and in surrounding areas, they turned to Regroup to keep their students and faculty safe and informed.
