It is important to be aware of the university’s weather-related resources and policy, know your disaster designation and learn how to check the university’s status.

Faculty and staff can be prepared by reviewing this policy and taking note of the resources to check the university’s status. You can also view your disaster designation in your Workday profile.

Grant funding up to $1,500 for individuals and up to $2,250 for groups of two or more is available for staff with at least a 0.75 FTE status who have been employed for at least one year. Only an interest in professional development is needed to apply; a specific course, program, or use for the funds is not required prior to applying or receiving a grant. Grant recipients can cover activities occurring between October 2023 - June 2024.
