Catawba College will reopen and all classes will resume on a normal operating schedule on Tuesday, September 18.
Catawba students who traveled home and are in areas adversely affected by Hurricane Florence are encouraged to use their best judgment about traveling back to campus. If their travel back to campus is prohibited due to flooded roadways or other circumstances, these students should reach out promptly to their individual professors and make arrangements to complete missed assignments.
Catawba College employees should also use their best judgment to assure their personal safety traveling to and from campus, and if they are unable to report to work on September 18, they should contact their supervisors accordingly.
On campus, Frock Athletic Fields and the Catawba Ecological Preserve remain closed due to flooding.
College officials ask that you continue to keep in your thoughts and prayers the families of approximately 150 of its students who live in the counties of N.C. and S.C. that were directly impacted by the effects of Hurricane Florence. If you are a student who needs administrative or counseling support in the days ahead, please reach out to your Resident Assistant if you live on campus, or call Catawba’s Public Safety at 704-637-4000 or 704-202-1734 to access on-call staff.
