The following is extracted from an email message sent by the Provost, Paul Ludden, and the VP for Business and Finance, Chris Casey to faculty and staff. President Turner supports this effort by SMU which has been themed “A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare”.
September marks the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the United States and, as such, it has been proclaimed National Preparedness Month by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. President Turner supports this effort, themed as “A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare,” to reflect on the importance of strengthening the security and safety of our campus community.
Following are the two documents, prepared by the SMU Office of Risk Management, which were attached to the email messages:
