Win Apple's newest iPad in ASU Advisory contest

An important part of keeping individuals safe across all four ASU campuses is being informed about emergencies.

In an effort to encourage campus-safety awareness, ASU is holding an ASU Alert/Advisory contest during the spring 2012 semester. You have the opportunity to win one of two free iPads and other prizes if you sign up to receive ASU Advisory system notifications from Feb. 1 through midnight, MST, April 15.

All ASU students, faculty, and staff are eligible to enter. ASU community members who previously have signed up for ASU Advisory automatically are entered into the contest. There is no need to sign up again.

To be eligible to sign up for ASU Advisory, you must be signed up for the ASU Alert system.

• The ASU Alert System notifies individuals via text messages and emails about potentially life-threatening situations like gunmen on or around campus and major fires. ASU Alert may also be used to notify the community of a major emergency that greatly impacts university operations.
• The ASU Advisory System delivers messages through text messages and emails and relays information about mid-level, non-life threatening situations that occur on and around campus such as small fires, flooding or other incidents that may interfere with campus operations.

In addition to the contest, it’s important to check to make sure your ASU Alert/Advisory account is up to date. Click on the ASU Alert icon from asu.edu or alerts.asu.edu, sign in and review account details such as your cell phone number, provider and account expiration date.

Read more about both the ASU Alert and Advisory systems and how to sign up to receive both emergency notifications at: alerts.asu.edu.

Don’t delay to sign up for the ASU Alert/Advisory contest. Winners will be notified via email by April 18.
