Campus Community,
This weekend, several floors of Lee Hall sustained water damage following a sprinkler pipe rupture in the southeast side of the building. The offices impacted have made arrangements to work remotely, offer virtual services, or open in a limited capacity to continue services, particularly during exam week. Please call or email offices in Lee Hall during this time to connect or ensure someone is able to meet with you if you seek in-person services.
Lee Hall remains open but with limited access to some areas, as the drying process will take several days, and the building may have more noise than normal as fans and dehumidifiers are in place. The impacted spaces are only available to staff to retrieve files and materials. Thank you for minimizing visits and traffic to Lee Hall as the recovery process takes place in part of the building.

- Talley Center for Counseling Services will offer virtual appointments and staffing in Tyler House – All currently scheduled appointments will occur either online or will be moved to Tyler House.
