  • Dining (modified hours as needed)
  • Public Safety
  • Facilities/Housekeeping
  • University Operator

Students living on campus should continue to expect regular support from Residence Life and Public Safety.

Classes and Remote Work

Students

All offices and in-person activities are canceled for the day. In-person classes are canceled but may be held remotely at the discretion of faculty. Faculty will communicate directly, so please check your email and course site for updates. 

Classes that are already scheduled to be fully remote will continue as usual unless otherwise communicated by your instructor.

Staff who are able to work remotely should coordinate with supervisors as appropriate. Staff whose work requires on-campus presence should follow supervisor guidance.

Life-changing Experiences

What's a good way to gauge a friendly campus? It's all about the doors—seriously. When you take a campus tour, don't just pay attention to your friendly tour guide, but also observe the current students. One thing visitors frequently notice is that "everyone holds doors open for you here."

Why is that such a big deal? This small gesture is representative of the students, faculty, and staff who are genuinely welcoming and caring to both visitors and fellow members of our community. While they may take a moment to hold a door open for you (even if they're running late), they also open doors to understanding, networking, international travel, graduate opportunities, and first jobs.
