  <title><![CDATA[Password Expiration Will Prompt Collection of Emergency Contacts]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Starting Monday, the customary prompt asking you to change
your Georgia Tech password will also ask you to provide or confirm your
emergency contact information. While in the past the Institute has not required
such information to be on record, it is now mandatory that all students,
faculty and staff list an emergency contact.</p>

<p>“Our
students’ safety is always a priority. Having emergency contact information
allows me and my staff to reach the designated contacts our students list in
the event of a personal or life-threatening emergency,” said John Stein, dean
of students. “Emergencies happen on a
daily basis, some more serious than others. Many do require us to contact the
person listed as a means of informing them about what has occurred and seeking
their assistance in responding to the emergency.”</p>



<p>When you log into the Tech network for the first time after
your password has expired, you will be asked for this information prior to being
able to move on to changing your password. Emergency contacts will be collected
on a rolling basis in conjunction with password expirations through September,
with some student accounts given an early expiration date to ensure that
emergency contact information is collected from all students by early fall. Faculty
and staff information will continue to be collected on a rolling basis through
November.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
