COLUMBIA, Mo. — At 2:50 p.m., Thursday, April 22, University of Missouri students, faculty and staff who have registered their cell phone numbers with the University’s mass notification system will receive a test text message. The text message is part of a regular test of the system by University officials.
The message will read:
