Syracuse University Will Remain Open Today – Feb. 12, 2019

Tuesday, February 12, 2019, By News Staff
After reviewing the most up-to-date National Weather Service data and following consultation with an independent meteorologist a short time ago, Syracuse University will remain open today (Tuesday, Feb. 12).

However, and as always, campus community members should be aware and take precautions when severe weather is in the area. While the University works hard to keep snow cleared from campus streets and sidewalks, anyone traveling to and from campus by vehicle should consider adding time for slower travel on main roads and streets.

If community members experience weather conditions that could affect their safety when traveling to and from the University, they are encouraged to use their judgment. Faculty and staff concerned about their safety should contact their dean, department head or supervisor.

The University will continue to evaluate the forecast and anticipated conditions. If a change in the University’s operating status becomes necessary, it will be announced:

·         via campus email;

·         on the University’s campus Twitter account (@SUCampus);

·         on the University’s campus Facebook account (@SUCampus);

·         on news.syr.edu and syracuse.edu; and

·         via Syracuse University radio station WAER-FM/88.3 and other local media outlets.

Only Syracuse University’s SU News team is authorized to transmit to the news media announcements about the University’s operating status.
