College to test public address system this Friday at 10 a.m.

NEW PALTZ — The State University of New York at New Paltz has scheduled a demonstration of a public address system for this Friday at 10 a.m.

Members of the New Paltz community may hear a loud noise which may be in the form of the spoken word or horn. THIS IS ONLY A TEST and it is expected to last no more than five minutes.

This is a test of a system the campus may purchase in order to be in compliance with State University of New York recommendations about emergency notification after the shootings at Virginia Tech.

If you have further questions, please contact the Office of Public Affairs at (845) 257-3245.
