A strong line of thunderstorms are moving through our area on Wednesday, April 10, bringing the possibility of heavy rain, flash flooding, tornados, and hail. To ensure the safety of everyone traveling to campus, we are shifting classes online and will limit campus operations on Wednesday.
Faculty are encouraged to review the academic affairs continuity of operations plan. Synchronous online courses should be scheduled if possible for in-person classes, but asynchronous activities may be scheduled as necessary. Faculty should share their plan with students via Canvas. Faculty with additional questions should consult with their Dean, if needed.
Non-essential employees are expected to work from home. Please consult with your manager should you have any questions or need clarification on work responsibilities.
