The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Cold Warning for our area beginning late Thursday evening through noon on Friday. Windchills could drop below –35 degrees during this time, which could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. Extremely cold conditions will continue through Saturday. We urge faculty, staff, and students to use good judgment and avoid serious risks during extreme weather conditions.   

For additional information and FAQs, review the university’s Extreme Weather page and these winter weather reminders for employees. 

Join us in our Hawk Chase Adventure! Download the app "Goosechase" on your mobile device and get ready to partake in a scavenger hunt around campus! Some of the tasks will be answering trivia-like questions while others will have you stop and take a picture or video for your challenge.
