Eight Avenue in front of the Joe Rosenfield Center is open at this time. Construction will soon begin on Eight Avenue between the Railroad Tracks and the intersection of 8th/East Street. The intersection will close at some point also. The Loose Hall parking lot (near railroad tracks) is now closed for parking. Please remove your vehicle from the lot if you have parked your vehicle there.

During the summer, we experienced a lot of severe weather and tonight the weather looks bad over to the north. At this time the Safety and Security Office has received no severe weather bulletins for our area from the National Weather Service. However, please go to the Security Department website at http://www.grinnell.edu/offices/security/ and review the "Preparation for Severe Weather" at Grinnell College information. This information will be helpful if we do experience severe weather tonight or in the future. The shelter locations at the college are listed at this location also.
Thanks,

The construction workers will be attempting to finish up the first stage (western section) of the 8th Avenue project before college starts. The next stage of the 8th Avenue project will entail rebuilding the section of the street from the railroad to the East Street intersection. Parking in the Science (Loose) lot will be inaccessible. Vehicle access to the Noyce Science Center and the Joe Rosenfield Center will be from the west
This summer parking was expanded just to the west of the PEC and in the Burling Library parking lot as well as parking spaces being installed for parking along the Tennis court drive. Please be patient as we continue with construction in the campus area.
Thanks,

Hope your summer is going well. On July 30th, between the hours of 1-4pm, the Grinnell Police Department and Campus Safety & Security will be conducting an emergency preparedness drill at Cleveland Hall. The area will be cornered off with barricade tape and signs will be up in the area indicating that a drill is taking place. There may be extra police and emergency vehicles in the area that are part of the drill.
I am in need of a couple more participants for the drill. If you are interesting in being part of this drill, please contact me.

You have received a text message on your cell phone or mobile device on or about 6/1/2008 stating "Your Grinnell College account will expire in 30 days Please login to extend your service period."
This message originated from "79516".
This message came from College's new electronic emergency notification service "Pioneer Alert". It refers only to your Pioneer Alert subscription, your other college accounts (network access, email, PWeb, etc. ) are on the same schedule they always have been.
Background:
Pioneer Alert automatically sends a notification to subscribers when their subscription is about to expire. We are sorry that you were not made aware of the automated reminder. The message was not specific as to which college account was going to expire and this caused some confusion and anxiety.
Action taken by Security/ITS:
We have changed the name of the account to be more specific. Future expiration notifications should read:
"Your Grinnell College Pioneer Alert account will expire in 30 days Please login to extend your service period."
We are contacting the vendor to determine how the text of the message could be made more specific to Grinnell College.
To Extend or Renew your subscription to Pioneer Alert:
* Go to Pioneer web ( http://pweb.grinnell.edu )
* Click the "Pioneer Alert" link under resources on the left of the page.
* Log in with your PIONEER ALERT PASSWORD
* You will see a yellow rectangle informing you of pending expiration with a button to "extend" the expiration date. Click the button and your subscription will be extended 2 years. (You can still cancel at any time)
Note: From this screen a person can also add ADDITIONAL mobile devices, deactivate devices, opt out, and add additional emails.
The Pioneer Alert system is a way to broadcast important safety information in a quick and efficient manner. In addition to Pioneer Alert, Grinnell College will provide various alternative sources of information, including e-mail, voice mail on campus phones, college website, via public address system in some campus buildings, and city siren system to issue an emergency alert.
