As announced yesterday, we are currently anticipating severe winter weather this weekend and continuing into next week. The National Weather Service is predicting a winter mix Sunday afternoon and night and another potential round of winter weather with a mix of precipitation Wednesday. It is almost certain to be extremely cold this weekend and next week.
Extreme Cold + Precipitation = Hazardous Conditions on roads and walkways! Be Careful!
Classes will not be held Monday through Wednesday for our traditional Mardi Gras break. If severe weather in our area impacts the safety of our students, faculty, and staff, we will move to online class delivery Thursday and Friday if necessary. We will announce our decision to move online Tuesday if possible, and I ask that faculty prepare for the need to conduct courses online next week.
If you are traveling this weekend, take your time and be safe. We will post updates via email and text message, on the ERT.latech.edu website, and on our Louisiana Tech social media channels.
