Subject: A Message about University Preparations Related to Hurricane Irene

Dear Parents,

We are writing to update you on our preparations for possible inclement weather this weekend as we welcome students to campus.

We are watching Hurricane Irene and considering how this storm may impact our community and events planned this weekend, in particular move-in and New Student Convocation.

Our first priority is a successful move-in. At this time, we anticipate that move-in will proceed as planned for our new students.

Additionally, we are considering whether it will be safe to hold New Student Convocation as planned. We will update you of changes to our plans as we gather more details about Hurricane Irene’s path and potential impacts.

Please know that we are also making preparations to support students on campus during inclement weather.

Please check http://preparedness.georgetown.edu for updates. We also encourage students to sign up for HOYAlert for emergency notification via email, SMS and voice messaging.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.


Sincerely,

Rocco DelMonaco, Jr.

Vice President for University Safety &

Chief of Police &

Todd Olson

Vice President for Student Affairs
