• Weather Alert: Remote Workday on Wednesday, March 5

    We are following the forecast for Wednesday, March 5, which is expected to bring dangerously high winds to our region.

    As a result, please note the following changes to campus operations:

    • Employees on the Hickory, Columbia and Asheville campuses should plan on a remote workday on Wednesday, March 5.
    • Only essential personnel are expected to report to work as scheduled. If you are unsure whether your position is considered essential, please contact your direct supervisor for clarification.
    • Student-athletes who are on campus over spring break should be in contact with their coaches/staff regarding any revisions to practice schedules or workouts.

    Because it is spring break, on-campus operations are already reduced. This remote work decision prioritizes the safety and well-being of our employees.

    We will continue to monitor the weather situation closely and provide updates as they become available. Please check your email and the LR website for the latest information.
