Prepare for Cold Temperatures
January 19, 2025 9:02 PM

Dear Students,

Bitter cold temperatures are predicted for the next several days, and we want you to be aware of this inclement weather as many of you travel back to campus for the semester to begin this week. We encourage you to refer to the National Weather Service website and make travel plans accordingly. 

Classes will still begin Tuesday, Jan. 21, as scheduled. Below freezing temperatures are predicted for the beginning of the week, so please dress accordingly. If you need assistance obtaining warm weather essentials, please contact the Connie Frank CARE Center at (217) 333-0050 or by emailing basicneeds@illinois.edu.

We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the week and will email your university email account if conditions deteriorate.

Your safety and wellbeing are our highest priority.

Sincerely, 

Danita M. Brown Young
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
