This optional service will only be used in the event of an on-campus emergency, an unscheduled university closing, or a delay or cancellation of classes due to, for instance, inclement weather.

Reversing a decade long trend, the suicide rate among middle-aged, white Americans, particularly women, is rising.

During the 1999-2005 period, the study shows, the rate of suicide for 40-64 year old men rose by 2.7% and 3.9% for women. Rates did not increase in other age or racial groups.
