Monday, December 10, 2007

Oklahoma State University is conducting final exams today and continues to monitor the impact of icy weather on its Stillwater campus and the surrounding area. OSU plans to be open on Tuesday for the second day of final exams.

OSU administrators will assess conditions early Tuesday morning and communicate their decision through normal channels, including the OSU homepage and campuswide emails, as well as Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Stillwater television and radio stations.

“Students, faculty and staff are to be commended for making today’s final exams and other campus activities go as well as possible considering the weather conditions,” interim OSU President Marlene Strathe said. “We appreciate the many hours of hard work by our Physical Plant employees and the extra effort by faculty and staff to keep final exams on schedule.”

Students unable to report to campus due to the weather on Monday and concerned about getting to their finals on Tuesday should contact their professors immediately regarding arrangements for make-up exams.

“Students, faculty and staff should take extreme caution when traveling to campus and always remember to make safety their No. 1 priority,” Strathe said.

To help with final exams, OSU students are reminded that Student Affairs is sponsoring free pancakes Monday through Thursday in the Student Union dining area from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
