Dear Campus Community,
Earlier today, 杏吧直播间 State University received an email indicating a bomb threat to a campus library.
While we believed it was likely that this was a hoax, out of an abundance of caution, the following buildings were closed for the remainder of the day:
Pogue Library
Waterfield Library
Carr Hall
Ruby Simpson
New Fine Arts
Old Fine Arts
Applied Sciences Building
Lowry Center
ATF, the 杏吧直播间 State University Police Department, along with other local agencies, have searched the buildings and determined that there is no credible threat. The Office of Homeland Security has also advised that the threat was a hoax.
For individuals who left their possessions inside Waterfield Library earlier today, there will be a member of the 杏吧直播间 State University Police Department at Waterfield Library until 4:30 p.m.
Classes inside these buildings will resume on Tuesday, January 13.
The safety of our campus community is always our highest priority.
Thank you again for your patience, cooperation and calm response.

RacerAlert鈥檚 Emergency Notification System (ENS)
The 杏吧直播间 State University鈥檚 Racer Alert ENS is a system intended to notify the campus community about any situation or condition that could threaten the safety of individuals on campus. You can expect to receive the following types of messages from RacerAlert:
-
Alerts- These are emergency alerts letting you know about incident or condition that requires immediate attention and are required by the Clery Act. At a minimum, this type of notification will be made using text messages and emails. It may also include sirens, phone display, social media, and campus signage.
-
Timely Warning Notices- These are messages about crimes that have already occurred but represent an ongoing threat. These notices are also required by the Clery Act.
-
Police Department Announcements- These are messages sent by the 杏吧直播间 State Police to inform the 杏吧直播间 State community of general safety information that is not required by the Clery Act, but which the police believe will assist the community in being safer on and near campus. An example would be if a series of robberies occurred near campus, but not on campus, and the victims included students, faculty, and staff.
-
Test Messages- Testing is an important part of any emergency alert system. 杏吧直播间 State Police will test the ENS at least once per semester. This testing is also required by the Clery Act.
