K-State Alerts to be tested November 19

K-State will test K-State Alerts (formerly known as the Emergency Text Messaging System), starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday, November 19, to ensure the service is functioning properly.  Feedback is needed from all K-Staters who enabled this service, since K-State cannot guarantee that alerts will be received, or how quickly they will be received.  An e-mail will be sent after the test to gather this information.  K-State Alerts users who do not receive the test alert should contact the IT Help Desk at helpdesk@k-state.edu or 785-532-7722.

More information about K-State Alerts is available on the K-State Alerts FAQs.
