Syracuse University is currently monitoring and assessing weather conditions, including a Wind Chill Advisory, for Friday, Dec. 23. This effort includes reviewing the most up-to-date National Weather Service data and forecasting, and consulting with an independent meteorologist about what to expect.
Based on current conditions, the University expects to remain open and operational Friday, Dec. 23, 2022.
Although Syracuse University rarely closes for inclement weather, individuals must make personal decisions based on a risk assessment related to travel. Employees are encouraged to take precautions and use good judgment when traveling to/from work. Essential employees, including those who are responsible for clearing and removing snow, ensuring public safety, and maintaining the campus, are expected to report for their scheduled shifts. Anyone concerned about their safety should contact their department chair or supervisor, respectively.
Any change in the University’s operating status will be announced via the University’s emergency broadcast notification system and will carry the notice SU WEATHER ALERT. Please be sure your Orange Alert settings are always up to date in MySlice.
SU WEATHER ALERT information will be announced via the following communications channels:
Only Syracuse University’s Internal Communications and Media Relations teams are authorized to transmit to the news media and the campus community announcements about closings, work-schedule changes or class-start delays.
