Just how hot is it? Well, I just received this email via Walter Kraft and from the Provost:
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory that remains in effect through 11 p.m. tonight. Faculty and staff working in buildings on campus that are not air conditioned (Hoyt and King, for example) should arrange through their department head, or other supervisor to work at an alternate location on campus or from home. Classes are to continue as usual. Limited space is available at the Student Center Building for faculty and staff to work during the advisory. Department heads and supervisors have been given information as to temporary alternate locations on campus.
I’m actually in Hoyt right now (office hours, etc.), and while it’s certainly warm, it doesn’t feel as bad to me as it did yesterday. Still early I suppose. And while I am sure many folks appreciate Provost Kay’s advice, working in an alternate location is easy for some of us (e.g., faculty) and not so much for others (e.g., staff).
Stay cool and plenty of fluids, people.
