Ensuring Student Safety and Well-Being on Hundreds of Campuses since 2006

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.

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.

Mercy College needed a mass notification solution for both day-to-day communications and emergency alerts, but the state-sponsored system in New York wasn’t easy to use or flexible enough to meet its needs. The College partnered with Regroup Mass Notification to create its white-label MercyAlert system that students, faculty and staff use across each of its campuses.

Regroup customer Emily Carr University had been using a competitor’s mass notification platform. It switched to Regroup in 2017, with the main goal of ensuring better customer service. In addition to using Regroup to close campus during a weather emergency, the school participated in a successful drill to test an early warning system for earthquakes.

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.

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.

With more than 8,000 students, about 2,000 faculty members, and an additional 660 administrative staff members, Regis University recently faced a cyberattack known as a ransomware attack, which crippled its traditional ways of communicating with those thousands of people. It used Regroup Mass Notification to keep a steady flow of critical information during the attack and in the weeks that followed as telephone service and emails were restored.

The largest and oldest college in the Florida Panhandle finds a new use for Regroup’s suite of mass notification offerings to keep its community informed and safe from harm — both from expected natural risks and unexpected violent threats.

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.
