Route 6N construction gets under way
|
|
Work crews could begin improvements to Route 6N between Fry Road and Washington Towne Center (Wal-Mart plaza) today, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokesman said.
The work, which will extend the route’s eastbound lanes to give traffic approaching Edinboro from Interstate 79 more time to merge and to provide left-turn lanes at Fry Road, is expected to be completed Sept. 27.
Although PennDOT officials will require the contractor to keep the road open Aug. 22-25 for returning students ahead of the start of the fall semester, lane closures through the summer and early fall are expected to cause delays. |

Bad weather = good reminder to sign up for alerts
|
|
Flooding on campus June 6 – on the heels of a tornado in the area on May 28 and followed a week later by another flood watch – provided an excellent reminder to sign up for e2Campus alerts.
The e2Campus notification system is one of the best ways to ensure you receive vital information about weather and other emergencies on and around campus in real time, wherever you happen to be.
The service is free to students, faculty, staff, family and friends, though subscribers are responsible for text messaging charges by their service providers.
To sign up, go to the University website at www.edinboro.edu and click on Campus Alert System on the home page. Users can register up to two mobile phone numbers and two email addresses.
E2Campus also has a voice service available so that the alerts can be received as speech messages. To request speech message alerts, contact the Office for Students with Disabilities at 732-2462. |

New look, expanding role for
myEdinboro
|
|
You may already have noticed the new appearance of the myEdinboro portal following an upgrade that occurred late last week. The new colors, branding and images are the first step in improvements that will better organize the homepage, and provide easier access to content and features such as communities.
The change that took place last week and those that will be made in the coming days are the first steps in moving content directed at current students, faculty, and staff from Edinboro.edu to myEdinboro. The move will allow the University to establish Edinboro.edu as a recruitment tool for prospective students.
The transition will take place throughout the summer. The departments affected first will be notified.
Share your concerns and direct your questions to Toni Malena at tmalena@edinboro.edu. |
