On the evening of Feb. 3, power went out on the Muskingum University campus for 26 hours. The winter storm that crossed the Midwest, blanketed the campus with freezing rain, ice and snow, which resulted in the loss of power.
How did Muskingum University weather the storm?
At the start of each winter season, Muskingum’s emergency management team reviews the plans for canceling or delaying classes or closing campus because of inclement weather. Throughout the season, the team closely monitors the forecast and potential impact to campus to make those decisions.
