A large-scale emergency response was initiated after a bomb threat was received by Georgian Court University in Lakewood on Thursday afternoon.

The college, which has approximately 1,900 students, was evacuated as a precaution. Authorities allowed students back on campus at around 5:30 pm, following a sweep with K-9 units that found no threats.

Specific details about the hoax have not yet been disclosed by authorities. However, the threat was apparently made during a Holocaust Remembrance event taking place at the the university.

It is currently unknown whether there is a connection between the event and the threat.
