Feb. 20 classes beginning at 5 p.m. or later canceled

UW-Eau Claire evening classes beginning at 5 p.m. or later on Thursday, Feb. 20, are canceled.

The university remains open Thursday evening and decisions about whether scheduled events are held will be made by the individual organizations hosting them. The following cancellations/rescheduled events have been announced:

• Feb. 20 'Inequality for All' screening rescheduled for Feb. 25
• Feb. 20 performance of "A Man of No Importance" canceled
• Feb. 20 'Spoken Word Showcase' canceled

The forecast calls for heavy snow this evening and overnight, with a winter storm warning in effect until noon Friday. A decision whether to hold classes as scheduled Friday, Feb. 21, will be made Friday before 6 a.m. That decision will take into consideration current weather conditions, regional road conditions, and whether campus sidewalks, roadways and parking lots are sufficiently cleared.

If classes are canceled Friday, information will be sent via e2Campus, UW-Eau Claire's emergency notification system.
