Dear Cullen College Faculty and Staff, </p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:22px; margin:15px 0px">
I hope you all are as well as possible given the distressing aftermath of Beryl. </p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:22px; margin:15px 0px">
The engineering buildings have power, although a significant portion of the campus remains without electricity and extensive clean-up is in progress.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:22px; margin:15px 0px">
Since the university is closed today, there is no expectation for any employee to be on campus and perform work. However, please access your offices or common areas as cooling shelters if it is safe and necessary for you to do so. Some building doors may be
locked, so you will need a UHID to swipe and enter.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px; line-height:22px; margin:15px 0px">
I will be making frequent stops at various engineering related campus locations to assess damage. Please do not hesitate to contact me or your supervisor if we can assist in any way.</p>
