UPDATE

January 30, 2019 – 3:47 p.m. EST: Concordia University Ann Arbor will extend the current campus closure through Thursday evening. All previously scheduled classes on Thursday afternoon and evening are now cancelled. All classes will resume on Friday, February 1.

From the desk of Rev. Dr. Ryan Peterson:

Dear CUAA community,

This is an update on our weather-related closure.  Due to the extreme low temperatures and wind chill, we are updating our closure and now cancelling classes through Thursday evening.  This means that all previously scheduled afternoon and evening classes on Thursday are now cancelled.  All classes and regular University operations will resume on Friday, February 1. Essential offices (including Campus Safety and Maintenance) will continue to provide some coverage throughout this closure. 

We will continue to have dining services available for residential students (modified hours), though I encourage you to go outside only for a very short period of time. 

While this has been an unexpected and uncommon start to the “spring” semester, I look forward to the many opportunities and challenges ahead as we live in the truth that we are More Than Conquerors through Christ.

Blessings to all of you,

Ryan
