S. Daniel Carter of Virginia Tech Family Crisis Foundation introduced ClearCause to a valuable resource: the College Alert Center, a company offering a safe, secure and easy to use service that employs the latest technology to provide critical information that may compress the time between loss and hopeful recovery of a missing student.
How does it work? Parents register their student’s information and photograph with the company. The College Alert Center is able to send a “Missing Student” message up to 20,000 text links per minute of a mini-poster to their entire mobile network and campus security when a student is missing. These messages can be sent to the entire student population of a college. “By distributing this information quickly in mass numbers we greatly increase the chances of recovery of the student,” College Alert Center’s website says.
Horrifically, missing students often are unreported until tragedy hits. The College Alert Center works to make sure these missing students are found before something worse happens to them. The service is only $15 per year per student to use, keeping our best and brightest safe as they pursue their education.
The College Alert Center’s call center is always available and has over 100 customer support personnel to assist callers. Parents are able to create a “buddy list” of immediate friends or relatives of the student to help locate their missing child quickly. The company also has a database of law enforcement, news media and other personnel to help locate students quickly. Text messages are sent to networks of customers within the 150-mile radius when a student is missing for two hours so the local community can help locate the missing student.
This service can help save lives. Visit The College Alert Center to use this valuable resource and keep your students safe!
