Campus Alert: Air Quality 10/20/22

Dear Campus Community,   

ET has continued to closely monitor conditions on campus today with regard to air quality as a result of the wildfire smoke in the area. With outdoor conditions continuing to be unhealthy for most populations, employees will continue to have the option to work remotely as they choose for Thursday, October 20, 2022. With this in mind: 

  • All campus services will remain OPEN. 
  • Service units are responsible for posting signage/online messaging regarding access to remote services today if applicable.
    • Signage should be posted with QR code or link to a zoom room for direct services. 

Please note: Faculty may also choose to hold their in-person class(es) online today. If you choose to do so, please work with your students for any appropriate accommodations.  

For those that choose to remain working on campus, please note the following safety precautions:  

  1. Keep indoor air clean by keeping windows and doors closed 
  2. Utilize fans to help circulate clean air inside.  
  3. When possible limit or avoid time outdoors until the air quality improves.   

 As a reference, you can review current information on air quality index anytime online at https://www.airnow.gov/.   

The College will continue to closely monitor air conditions tomorrow to determine campus modality for Friday, October 21, 2022.  If you have any questions, please contact your supervisor.
