UConn Closing Campuses Thursday
Expected heavy snow has prompted UConn to close campuses Thursday.
STORRS, CT — Due to the upcoming winter storm forecast for the region, the University of Connecticut will close all of its campuses Thursday, with the exception of UConn Health.
Essential employees will still report to their work sites, including public safety and facilities operations personnel.
Other employees who already are telecommuting due to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to do so on their regular schedules, and have received guidance on what to do in case of extenuating circumstances such as power outages (see “Winter Weather – Storrs & Regional Campuses Only” at this link).
