SU NYC Alert – Crisis Communications
We have implemented a new communications tool for emergencies called SU NYC Alert. It may be used for weather, fire, police, or other crises.
A test will be sent to all currently registered NYC students at the beginning of each semester that will include texts and emails. Each message has instructions and may request a response. Emails will be sent from Daily Operations – NYC – Veoci. Please respond if requested.
Community Standards
Syracuse University students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that supports and promotes the educational mission of the University.
...
- General building security maintains surveillance of all entrances 24/7. There are also surveillance cameras for safety that monitor and record the hallways and entry ways inside the Fisher Center.
- Only SU students and faculty have access to the Fisher Center from the employee entrance elevators at 19 E 31st Street.
- A log is kept of when students and faculty access the Fisher Center.
- Do not give your Colliers building access card to anyone else (including other SU students). You are the only one with authorization to use your card.
- To replace your Colliers building access pass or SUID please contact Dave Major, the Director of Facility Operations. You will be charged a $50 replacement fee.
Visitors
Since the Fisher Center is a closed campus, only students currently registered for the semester and faculty/staff can access the facility. Here are guidelines for other visitors to enter:
- Requests for a visitor must be approved in advance by Dave Major, Director of Facilities Operations, who will give instructions for registering your guest.
- Requests should be sent via email to dsmajor@syr.edu at least 24 hours in advance.
- No visitors will be allowed when the front desk is not staffed (after 9pm on weekdays or on weekends).
Emergency Exits
- There are three emergency exits in the Fisher Center. One at each bank of elevators and one near the restrooms.
- In case of a fire or other emergency, exit the building through the nearest exit. Do not use the elevators unless otherwise instructed.
- For all emergencies and crises, dial 911 immediately and follow their instructions. Also inform the Director of Facility Operations if he is onsite. Afterwards please inform the Director of Student Support.
- All Emergency Response Teams must use the 136 Madison Avenue entrance.
- A small first aid kit is available at the reception desk for less serious situations.
