Columbia-JED Campus Objectives

Work begins to formalize inter/intra school notification, ensuring all Columbia undergraduates receive timely notice of student emergencies.

Work begins to establish protocols for identifying and communicating with impacted communities (residence hall, class/academic, affinity or identity-based, student employment/research, clubs, athletic teams, hometown, and other social networks).

Main sources of student emergency contact information are identified, making it easier for staff to access them. Work begins to develop a centralized software system to eventually house student emergency contact information in one location.

Postvention response group begins development of standard guidelines and procedures, with a draft completed by the end of March 2019. 

Work begins to identify all fields that would be helpful for a future centralized data system. As this is a long term plan, work continues to make information more accessible in times of crisis.
