Rave is an app that allows campus security to send each of you a direct alert to your phone via text message and email about any event that may threaten your safety including a chemical spill, gas leaks, a suspicious person, bomb threats, tornados, flooding, or an active shooter. Students will also have access to their own personal panic button, safety timer, as well as other features cutting edge of technology that will increase their safety and security.
