About this event
Mississippi State University (all campuses) will close Tuesday, Jan. 29 due to an abundance of caution over predicted winter weather. Severe winter weather conditions are predicted in Central and North Mississippi that are expected to make driving conditions extremely dangerous. Monitor www.msstate.edu and www.meridian.msstate.edu for updates and specific instructions for Wednesday, Jan. 30 status and schedules. The National Weather Service is predicting snow accumulations on road and bridge surfaces that are unlikely to melt because of protracted hours of sub-freezing temperatures. Students, faculty and non-essential staff are urged not to attempt to drive in these conditions. Mississippi State’s Tuesday classes, day and evening, are being canceled for all campuses. Non-essential employees should not report to work. Faculty, staff and students are urged to use caution to ensure personal safety. Essential personnel required to work during the closing will be notified by their supervisor. The university will make an announcement Tuesday by 6 p.m. about the status of the institution for Wednesday, Jan. 30. Monitor the MSU website and social media for updates.
