Dear Students,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to provide you with an update regarding the ongoing challenges we are facing in restoring full power to our campus and stabilizing our technological systems, including Canvas.

As of this Saturday afternoon, September 2, 2023, we are still working diligently to address these issues. While we are striving to have all systems up and fully functioning by the time we return on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, we cannot provide a definitive assurance at this moment.

Rest assured that our dedicated IT and Maintenance teams are working around the clock to resolve these challenges as swiftly as possible. We understand the importance of having a stable technological infrastructure for both faculty and students.

During this period of instability, I have requested that all faculty members be flexible and provide necessary exceptions for students who may encounter Canvas-related issues. We understand that these difficulties are beyond our control, and we want to ensure that our students receive the support they need during these trying times.

For the most up-to-date information and progress reports, please continue to monitor email, our official social media outlets and website. We will make every effort to keep you informed as we work toward a resolution.

I want to express my gratitude for your understanding and patience during this challenging period. Your resilience and cooperation are greatly appreciated, and we are committed to resolving these issues as swiftly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to returning to a fully operational and clean campus by Tuesday.

Sincerely,
