All campuses of Arkansas Tech University will operate virtually on Thursday, Jan. 18, in order to provide for the safety of students, faculty and staff.
There will be no in-person classes or operations on Thursday. Some essential operations, including food service, public safety and facilities management, will remain available in order to serve residential students on the Russellville campus.
“While many of the main roads are clear, we continue to observe snow and ice on several of our on-campus roads and parking lots,” said Dr. Russell Jones, ATU interim president. “The same is true for many of the less-traveled roads our students, faculty and staff must pass in order to reach our campuses. The safety of the ATU community is our top priority and we will continue to make progress through remote operations.”
Students are encouraged to check Blackboard for class syllabi and any assignments provided by their faculty members.
