Welcome back to a new semester. I hope your break was restful and enjoyable, and you are ready for a productive and successful semester.
Unfortunately, we will be beginning the semester in less-than-ideal weather.
The National Weather Service has for most of western Pennsylvania, including Indiana, Allegheny, Armstrong and Jefferson counties, from 1:00 a.m. Monday, January 20, through 1:00 a.m. Wednesday, January 22.
Classes and events at all university campuses and locations are proceeding as scheduled.
Should a decision be made affecting classes or events, notifications will be made via email through Everbridge (Ä¢¹½tv’s emergency communication system) and posted on the Ä¢¹½tv website.
If you are traveling by vehicle to and from classes and work during this time and during any period of inclement weather, .
We know that many of you need to be outdoors to attend classes, events, and work. Your safety and security is our priority; please work with your professor or supervisor if you have concerns and follow common-sense measures, including wearing layers of warm clothing and limiting time outdoors. Please As always, should you have a medical emergency or see someone in distress, call 9-1-1.
If you have health concerns related to weather conditions, please talk with your health care provider or with Ä¢¹½tv Health Service staff in the Suites on Maple East; you can reach them by email at health-inquiry@iup.edu or by calling 724-357-2550.
Stay warm, stay focused on success, and take care of yourself and others.
