A meeting and forum on campus emergency preparedness and strategies, hosted by the Campus-Community Coalition (CCC), will be held Wednesday, April 9, 6:30-8 p.m. at the Africana Studies and Research Center, 310 Triphammer Road.

The public forum, "Post-Virginia Tech: Update on Local Campus Preparedness," will review emergency response measures that were launched before, or initiated in response to, the April 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech. In addition, campus staff from student mental health services and other departments will be available to take questions.

The CCC comprises representatives from Cornell, Ithaca College and Tompkins-Cortland Community College and meets regularly to discuss shared interests and challenges.
