BearTXT is a text message system designed to communicate brief announcements/reminders to Missouri State University faculty, staff and student subscribers. Texts will be sent to the subscriber’s cell phone; text message rates are determined by individual data plans.
BearTXT operates independently from Missouri State Alert, which communicates immediate threat/violent situation on campus, security alerts, University closings, severe weather alerts, emergency situations of an extreme nature and periodic testings.
