Dear William Paterson Community,
Today, many in our campus community and across our region are coping with the impacts of last night’s terrible storm. I know some of you are wondering why we continued operating on a normal schedule last night and today in the face of the storm and its aftermath. As always in the cases of weather events, these decisions are made in concert with our Public Safety team and University Police based on local conditions on campus and throughout the communities where our student, faculty, and staff live.
I know that many in our community are dealing with flooded homes and streets, downed trees, loss of power, and other serious consequences of the storm. As always, we ask everyone to make decisions about coming to campus, when open, based on their own comfort level and conditions in their local communities.
The safety of the William Paterson community remains our priority. For all those impacted by the storm, please know that we are thinking of you and hoping for a swift recovery.
