CNAS News – May 11, 2026

May 11, 2026 by Holly R. Keehner

Upcoming events and important notices

A great spring 2026 semester!  Thank you.  Final grades are due by 2:00 PM today.

The 2026 Annual Steam Outage will occur May 9 – 13, 2026. Each year it is necessary to shut down the campus steam system to perform required inspections and essential maintenance on the campus steam system.  This outage helps ensure our steam system remains reliable and safe. During the outage, some buildings on campus may be colder than usual, and domestic hot water may not be available.

CNAS Seminars – All are welcome!

Seminars have finished for the spring semester!
