Cooper Notification, Arlington, Va., a platform of Cooper Industries, Ltd., has announced that 17 additional Virginia Community College System (VCCS) colleges launched the patent-pending Roam Secure Alert Network (RSAN) for emergency notification, joining Northern Virginia Community College, which launched its system in August 2007. Through RSAN, campus safety officials on each college campus can now send targeted alerts via email, text and voice messaging, and other delivery channels to students, faculty and staff.

The 17 VCCS colleges, with their corresponding web sites to register for alerts include: Blue Ridge Community College, Dabney S. Lancaster Community College, Danville Community College, Eastern Shore Community College, J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College, John Tyler Community College, Lord Fairfax Community College, New River Community College, Patrick Henry Community College Paul D. Camp Community College, Rappahannock Community College, Southside Virginia Community College, Southwest Virginia Community College, Tidewater Community College, Virginia Highlands Community College, Virginia Western Community College, and Wytheville Community College. Each campus launched RSAN independently. Parents, alumni and friends of the university can also sign up for RSAN at no charge by visiting each corresponding web site. The remaining five VCCS colleges have pre-existing contracts with other providers, but will have the opportunity to install the RSAN solution when those contracts expire.
