Personal safety

Safety is UD's highest priority. Faculty, staff and students should not put themselves at risk, and employees who expect difficulty traveling should contact their supervisors. Overnight temperatures will be below freezing; these temperatures may create slick driving and walking conditions, as melted snow and ice could re-freeze after sunset. Exercise caution.
