PFW and IUFW Campus Will Be Closed Wednesday
The Purdue University Fort Wayne campus including Indiana University Fort Wayne will be closed Wednesday, Jan. 22, because of the dangerously cold conditions that are expected to continue through the morning hours.
All classes, on-campus events, and activities are also canceled. Unlike Tuesday, the IU School of Medicine will have normal operations and students will receive in-person instruction.
All dining services will also be closed Wednesday, but the FRIENDS of the University Pantry location in the clubhouse at Student Housing on the Waterfield Campus will again be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Essential university personnel should report as scheduled. Please check with your supervisor for additional guidance. All nonessential employees are expected to work remotely, if possible, and all online meetings should continue, as scheduled.
Unless otherwise announced, the campus will return to normal operations Thursday, Jan. 23.
Go to pfw.edu/emergency, check PFW's primary social media channels, check PFW email, and stay tuned to local news for additional information and updates.
What you need to know.
Users who do not have a PFW email address can now receive emergency alerts from the university via text message.
Parents, family members, vendors, contractors, audience members, visiting sports teams, and any other campus visitors can sign up to receive the same messages sent to all PFW students, faculty, and staff about campus emergencies, road detours, delayed openings, and more.
If you decide to end your subscription prior to the 1-week or 16-week expiration, simply text “STOP” to CAMPUS (226787) and you will stop receiving messages. Texting “START” to CAMPUS (226787) will resume the alert messages.
There is no cost from the university or Rave for this service, but carrier-specific message and data rates may apply.
