Keeping the university community safe during winter weather

During the recent winter weather, units across the University of Georgia worked together to keep the campus community safe, warm and informed.

“I want to express my sincere gratitude for the hard work and selflessness displayed by so many members of our campus community in the face of recent winter weather,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. “Their actions over the past few weeks are truly inspirational, and highlight the University of Georgia’s long-standing commitment to the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff.”

The efforts started long before winter weather actually hit the Athens area. The Office of Emergency Preparedness began sharing reports with units likely to be affected after receiving forecasts of impending ice and snow.
