Message from October 29 at 9:00 am:
Wells College staff has been closely monitoring Hurricane Sandy and its potential for effects in our area. The Emergency Preparedness Team met this morning, and plans are in place if we need to address any concerns. Should we lose power, students are asked to follow the instructions of the Residence Life staff and watch for postings in their halls for updates. The Dining Hall will be fully operational throughout the duration of the storm. College staff will be on campus 24 hours a day to assist students and respond quickly should there be any immediate needs.
As the College prepares for the possibility of severe weather in our area caused by Hurricane Sandy, the Office of Campus Safety has shared the following with students, faculty and staff as a reminder to take a few simple steps to ensure that individuals are prepared as well:
