Emergency Information

Thank you, Panthers - Classes Resume Thursday, Nov. 5

Dear Panthers,

I am pleased to report that after an unexpected rainfall event for our area, – a 1,000 year event, in fact - conditions are returning to normal on the Florida Tech campus. Utilities are restored, minus a few intermittent disruptions, even as the clean-up continues. All classes will resume, all offices will re-open and full university operations will proceed Thursday, Nov. 5.

I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for our campus community’s patience, understanding and resilience in the face of difficulty. The people of Florida Tech are known for staying calm, working hard and overcoming adversity. This week has been no exception.

I appreciate how our students, faculty and staff have stepped up and weathered this week. I am proud and thankful for who you are and how you persevere.

I also recognize that many campus community members’ personal lives have been impacted in various ways. Please work with your supervisor if accommodations are needed; our goal is to be flexible, while resuming full operations. In that same vein, I ask for your continued patience as clean-up continues, particularly in some heavily impacted buildings.

The semester is winding down with much left to do—let’s get back to work and get it done. I’ll see you around campus soon. Go, Panthers!

Sincerely,

John Nicklow, Ph.D.
President
