<p>In case you didn't see or didn't read the president's opinion about the weather, as all y'all's supervisor let me pass on my direction.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The weather will be dangerous for travel tomorrow. Even if campus is open, it is my strong opinion that y'all should work from home tomorrow. I have asked Lydia to do the same.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please note that the semester will start Monday as scheduled, so if you have not yet turned in syllabi, you should prioritize that tomorrow, as well as doing any other preparation work you need to do.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>On Friday the College of Science and Engineering will have a Zoom-based informational meeting; please attend virtually if you can. Similarly, I suspect tomorrow morning's presidential spring convocation will be broadcast online if it is not delayed.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Be safe, stay warm, and be ready for class on Monday.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Kurtis</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Your safety is our top priority. We are continually monitoring the potential for ice and snow accumulation in the area on<b> Thursday, January 9</b>. Currently, we plan for business operations
on the main campus in Commerce and the Dallas site to follow their regular schedules. However, employees should prepare to work remotely based on their supervisor's directives.
