Following the wintry weather, 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 will resume normal business operations tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2025.
UPDATE ON 1/22/2025:
To ensure the safety of our students, faculty, and staff, 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 will continue to telework and hold classes remotely for the entire day tomorrow (Thursday, January 23, 2025). All on-campus events and activities scheduled for Thursday are canceled or rescheduled, including Blazer Athletics events (see below). We hope to resume normal operations on Friday, January 24. Please keep reading for more information.
Students and Faculty:
All online classes will proceed as normal. All face-to-face classes will be held via remote instruction tomorrow (Thursday).

Where work is either not required or only partially required on Thursday, employees will be compensated for non-closure hours, up to the equivalent of the hours regularly scheduled for the day. Those unable to telework on Thursday or instructed by their supervisor to work but are unable to do so should record the appropriate leave in the system upon our return to normal operations. Instructions from payroll on how to handle time sheets during reduced operations will be sent via email once normal operations resume.

We have been closely watching the forecast as wintry weather makes its way to our area. The updated models show conditions beginning to change late tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon with a wintry mix and overnight freezing potentially leading to icy roads on Wednesday morning.
Out of an abundance of caution, 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站 will implement a telework option beginning at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, for the remainder of the day, with reduced operations on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. Before 4 p.m. Tuesday, it will be business and classes as usual on campus. All on-campus events and activities scheduled after 4 p.m. Tuesday and all-day Wednesday are canceled. We anticipate normal operations resuming on Thursday, January 23, at 8 a.m. Please keep reading below for further information.
Reduced Operations:
Only residential students and employees and those employees whose job it is to assist with those operations should be on campus during reduced operations until it is safe for local travel.
Students and Faculty:
All online classes will proceed as normal. All face-to-face classes will continue via remote instruction starting at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) and all-day Wednesday.
