What are Maroon Alerts?
Maroon Alerts is Roanoke College's emergency notification system. It allows College officials to contact faculty, staff and students via text messages to cell phones and similar devices as well as send instant e-mail communications in the event of an emergency or severe weather conditions. Notices also are sent when weather emergencies necessitate a closing or delayed schedule for the College. It is the responsibility of each student, faculty and staff member to enroll in the program and thus receive notifications. Members of the College community are strongly encouraged to enroll in the program. How do I sign up for text message alerts?
