Students, Faculty and Staff:

Essential services, including Dining Services, will continue operating.  

While facilities crews work around the clock to de-ice slick areas of campus, they advise that students should walk in the grass for better traction whenever possible and avoid stairs. Whenever possible, use each building's ADA accessible entrances.
