Jackson, Tenn. - While other Jackson schools and universities are closed today, Union University students spent the first snow day of the season in class taking their final exams for the winter term. Lambuth University and Jackson State Community College, both in Jackson, are closed. Wed., Feb. 2.
Safety is our main concern.
Brad Sargent, Director of Facilities Management, said that crews were out early this morning shoveling snow and clearing sidewalks and parking lots for students, faculty and staff who slowly made their way onto campus. Donnie Alford, who works in Facilities Management, was out with his team at 6 a.m. today. Autumn Hardee, a freshman, said that it was a little slippery driving in this morning. It was like since it's snowing, no one has to obey the law. Winter break is scheduled for the 29th through February 2, something that Sanderson felt was important to the students.
