We are monitoring a winter storm expected to move through central Minnesota on Sunday and into Monday. Some forecasts are calling for significant snowfall, and the area is in a Winter Storm Warning from 7 p.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Monday.

Facilities, Grounds and Life Safety/Security teams are preparing and will be working throughout the storm to keep roads, walkways and building access as safe as possible. Sunday and Monday may feel a bit awkward around campus as snow removal operations are underway.

If you are traveling, please allow extra time and use caution, as conditions may change quickly.

At this point, campus operations remain normal. We will share updates if conditions warrant.

Thank you to everyone who will be helping keep things moving during the storm.
