To ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff, the University (all campuses) will be closed on Tuesday, December 2.
The Falcon Center, including the cafeteria and campus recreation, will operate under regular business hours. The Ruth Ann Musick Library will be closed.
Some personnel necessary to the operation of the University, including those who work in the Physical Plant, Dining Services, the Falcon Center and Public Safety, are considered essential employees and are expected to report to work.
Students are advised to check Blackboard and campus e-mail for messages and/or assignments from faculty regarding their classes. Additional weather updates will be communicated through our emergency alert system, social media, and the University website.
