Cowboy Alerts
About OSU's Cowboy Alerts
Oklahoma State University has partnered with AT&T RAVE to implement a service for the OSU community that will notify students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency. Examples include:
- A campus intruder
- Acts of terrorism
- Biohazard threats
- Weather-related events that pose a threat to the lives of people on campus.
In a situation deemed an emergency, OSU officials will deploy a message to members of the OSU community with information regarding the event and how they should proceed. This information will likely be in the form of a phone call, text message and/or email.
