  • Only those employees designated as having essential job functions supporting campus operations should report to work. All other employees (both telecommuting and in-person) and student workers do not need to report to work. If you have questions or concerns, contact your supervisor.

Additionally:

  • Roadrunner Café will operate under modified hours, opening at 10 a.m. for students living on campus.
