Campus Closure: Severe Weather

All remaining in-person events and activities scheduled for this afternoon and evening are canceled. Exterior doors will be locked, and the campus will be closed to ensure the safety of students, employees, and visitors.

The National Weather Service in Tulsa has issued a warning for strong to severe storms throughout today and overnight, including the potential for very large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding, and strong tornadoes.

Employees, please enter your own inclement weather leave in Workday for the remainder of your scheduled time.
