To the Dartmouth community,
Following the recommendation of New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, who has today declared a state of emergency, Dartmouth is releasing all faculty and staff, effective immediately, except those performing services essential to the support of the operation of our residential community. Such services are those needed to maintain core student services, campus safety and security, and also vital patient services.
All 3 p.m. classes are cancelled, as is the Faculty of Arts & Sciences meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. Additionally, all Dartmouth-sponsored events for the rest of the day are cancelled effective immediately. Dartmouth libraries will close at 4 p.m.
The Class of 1953 Commons dining facility will remain open until 8:30 p.m. All other dining facilities are open until 8 p.m.
