NDSU will cancel classes effective at 9:00 am today, Monday, March 23 until further notice. University offices will remain open, however, they may be operated at minimal staff levels.
Students, faculty, and staff are needed to help with the flood prevention efforts. Volunteers are needed for sandbagging. It is estimated that 2 million sandbags will be needed. With the current and predicted rain, the Red River is anticipated to crest for the first time on Thursday, March 26.
Please report to the NDSU Flood Protection Volunteer Center on the Main Floor of the Memorial Union (next to the Bison Connection) to check in and sign up for shifts. You may also call 231-7870 or email NDSU.floodsupport@ndsu.edu to sign up for future volunteer shifts.
Transportation from the Union will be provided to the locations where help is needed. It is important to use the bus transportation that is provided.
Thank you for your time and help. Our communities need us.
If class is canceled tomorrow, I will post the PPT and move Tuesday's media clip presentation to Thursday. We will then have two presentations that day (Lana and Kim). If classes are canceled on Tuesday and Thursday, I'll send out a revised schedule.
I encourage everyone to volunteer if/when they can.
