Wake Forest’s Reynolda Campus and Wake Downtown will operate normally on Tuesday, Jan. 7. While campus walkways and roads are clear, some areas in the surrounding region – particularly on bridges and shaded surfaces – may experience icy patches. Temperatures are predicted to be below freezing for much of the morning.
Faculty, staff and students are urged to exercise caution when traveling.
Employees should always use good judgment when determining if travel conditions are safe in their area. If you are scheduled to work on campus and are concerned about traveling, please consult your supervisor to discuss potential options.
The safety of our community remains our priority. Additional updates will be shared if conditions change.
