Posted on by

UPDATE: The Jeremy Richard Library will open at its normal hours today 8:00AM-9:00PM.

UConn-Stamford will be on a normal operating schedule for Wednesday, January 22, 2014.

  • Faculty members scheduled to teach who decide it is unsafe for them to travel to campus must notify their students as soon as possible that their class is cancelled.
  • Faculty should respect the decisions of commuting students who decide not to travel to campus and provide options for them to make up missed work.
  • Students should contact their professors as soon as possible if they must miss a class or other activity due to weather conditions.
  • Always consider safety first. Weather and road conditions may vary considerably across the state, so all members of the University community must evaluate the circumstances they face.
  • Even when the University remains open for business, individuals may appropriately decide not to come to campus or to leave campus early.
  • In these situations, employees may use a vacation day, personal time, or other accrued time without advance approval, but they must notify their supervisors that they are doing so.

The University continues to emphasize the paramount importance of safety. Faculty, staff, and students should evaluate their own circumstances carefully, exercise appropriate judgment, and take responsibility for their safety when making decisions during inclement weather.

Washington University Libraries Unveils Digitized conversations about the Great Depression

The diverse range of individuals whose reflections on the 1930s are now easily accessible include a grandson of Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt, celebrated authors Maya Angelou and Gore Vidal, longtime New York Times political reporter Warren Moscow, actors Karen Morley and Ossie Davis, Morton Newman, who worked on the Upton Sinclair campaign for governor in California, and many more from all walks of life. The multicultural, multiregional approach brings needed depth and color to an era that is often remembered and depicted as a monolithic event dragging the nation down for a decade, says Film & Media Archive assistant Alison Carrick, who managed the workflow of the digitization project.
