Due to continued inclement weather and anticipated rolling blackouts and power outages in the Wichita area, Wichita State University will be closed on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Because power outages may impact instructors’ and students’ access to Blackboard and the internet, all classes – including in-person, remote, hybrid, Zoom and asynchronous – are canceled.
Students and employees are asked not to come to campus.
Employees should only work remotely if directed to do so by their supervisor. Those employees whose work is essential to campus operations should contact their supervisor for more information.
If the university plans additional closings or delays, we will communicate that information as soon as possible.
