UofM Alert Notification

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

All University of Memphis Shelby County locations and the Lambuth Campus in Jackson will return to normal operations and classes will resume on Friday, Feb. 3.

We continue to monitor the weather situation and will keep our campus community informed should further communications be necessary.

Please take note of the following safety precautions:

• While roadways are mostly clear, some ice may remain on bridges, overpasses and curb lanes. Allow yourself extra travel time and stopping distance to avoid accidents.
• While our facilities colleagues will be working to address ice formation across campus, slips and falls are a concern as ice will often not melt in shaded areas or close to buildings. Take shorter steps, walk slower and watch out for ice coating walkways and steps, which often cannot be readily seen. Consider wearing non-slip shoes with soles for traction such as hiking boots or shoes.

Taking preventive action is your best defense. By observing safety precautions during times of inclement weather, you can reduce the risk of weather-related issues.Please stay safe.

Executive VP, COO & CFO
