Tips for a Safe Spring Break

Posted on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023
It’s almost time for spring break! Spring break begins on Sunday, March 12 and concludes on Sunday, March 19. The residence halls will remain open, and students are welcome to stay on campus if they have registered to do so. However, if you’re leaving your residence hall during this time, don’t forget to lock your doors, take your keys with you, and avoid propping residence hall doors open for any reason.
