The university will resume normal operations, including in-person classes, tomorrow, Thursday, January 18. Faculty are advised to work on a plan with students who are unable to attend class due to unsafe conditions or rescheduled travel.

Thank you to all the employees who helped address weather-related issues on campus and those who kept services running safely for students on campus.

Water pressure conditions may vary on campus as the city’s team completes repairs. The recommendation to minimize time on campus issued previously still stands.

Please be advised that a boil water advisory has been issued for the following area:
