University leaders sent this message to the campus community Monday, in anticipation of Hurricane Dorian later this week:
Dear UNCG Community,
As you may be aware, according to the National Weather Service, Hurricane Dorian may have some effect on the Triad later this week. There is still uncertainty in the forecast, but currently the impact for our area is projected to be limited.
The UNCG Office of Emergency Management, along with University leaders, as well as state and national agency partners, are closely monitoring the forecast. We are actively communicating with all of our on- and off-campus partners. The preparedness and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are our top priorities.
Beginning later today (Tuesday), UNCG will host approximately 35 students and staff from UNC Wilmington who are evacuating in anticipation of the storm. (Update: UNCG is now hosting 55 students and 5 staff members from UNCW.) We stand ready to help further if needed and are proud of our campus staff in Housing, Dining, and Kaplan Center for their efforts in making this possible.
We recognize some members of our own campus community are from areas that may ultimately be impacted by this storm. Students with specific concerns are asked to work with their professors as needed.
Please continue to monitor all local and regional weather forecasts and road condition reports when planning travel, and prepare as appropriate. We will continue to monitor weather conditions and provide updates as needed throughout the week via the UNCG Mobile App (available at the Apple App Store or Google Play Store), email, Spartan Alerts, and the University’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
