Vice President Dana Issues Message About Residence Halls and Friday Storm
To: Members of the University of Maine Community
From: Robert Dana, vice president for student affairs and dean of students
As you may know, a winter storm is expected for Friday. At this time, we expect classes to be held according to normal schedules. A final decision on Friday classes will be made by 6 a.m. Friday, in accordance with UMaine’s inclement weather policy.
We are aware that the bad weather may affect students traveling for spring break, so we have made a critical adjustment relative to UMaine residence halls. They will remain open for residents until 9 a.m. Saturday to accommodate those who need to stay on campus for Friday classes but do not wish to travel until the storm clears. The same principle applies to commuter students, who should consider adjusting travel schedules according to the weather situation.
If you can leave before the storm starts, we encourage you to do so.
Have a safe, restful, and enjoyable spring break.
