CALENDAR – 2018
Aug 29 CNAS Student Expo, 2:30-4:30, Temple Courtyard
Sep 6 Home football game – tailgating starts 3 PM, game starts at 6 PM
No classes will be canceled. For those who have a class that meets that afternoon please make sure they tell their students the following: The commuters will need to arrive early to find a parking space!!! Also the outside doors to Temple and Pummill Halls will be locked at 3:00 PM. Every student in a class that starts at 2:30 or later will be given zip card access to Temple Hall from 2:30 PM – until 7:00 PM. There will also be an officer stationed near the lecture halls and at the entrance to Pummill Hall with a class list who can let them in.
I cannot have an officer at every door so be sure your students bring their zip cards. Remember there is zip card access on the west and north entrances. If you notice anyone in the building who should not be here during that time period – please call security immediately. I’ll be monitoring the building from 3-5:30 PM but then I’ll be in class until 6:45. I’ll do a walk-through after class but typically nothing happens after the game starts and it should be quiet after that.
