An emergency alert system intended to spread warnings about possible dangers on Indiana University's campuses is up and running, and officials are encouraging students, staff and faculty members to sign up for it as soon as possible. The service is called Connect-ED and allows registered users to receive text messages, e-mails and phone calls in the event of an emergency situation on any or all of IU's eight campuses.

The role of the nursing advisor is to help students develop and achieve their academic and career goals and to assist students in meeting the admission, progression, and graduation requirements of the BSN major. Deborah Hrisomalos, RN, BSN, MBA - Assistant Director of Student Services, serves as the primary academic advisor for the School of Nursing at IU Bloomington. Mr. Ed Heath is a health professions advisor (including pre-nursing). Students wishing to develop a "back up" plan or alternate career path may particularly benefit from an appointment with Mr. Heath who has 12 years experience advising to prepare students for various health care fields.
