We continue to monitor updated forecasts on Tropical Storm Francine. The latest advisory shows the storm’s track shifting eastward, but expected impacts to our campus remain unchanged. Our next communication to the Loyola community will come on Thursday after we have completed an initial assessment of Francine’s impact to our campus.
Pre-landfall campus preparations have been completed and students who have chosen to remain on campus for the duration of the storm are secure. Our residents will receive ongoing updates and guidance from Residential Life staff throughout this weather event.
We will provide a situation update following Thursday's post-storm assessment.
