Communication to faculty and staff from the interim president; Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024, at 12:28 p.m.

Good afternoon, Mariner Family.

I hope you all have been able to stay safe during this time. With the passing of Tropical Storm Debby from the area, the College will resume normal operations Wednesday. Employees are directed to report to work tomorrow morning as usual, unless otherwise directed by their supervisor.

On campus we had minimal damage.  There are a few buildings that had roof leaks, but our Physical Plant team is already addressing those issues and cleaning up the water/damage.  It appears that no offices were impacted by leaks.  We do have three pine trees down on campus…one near the church and two near Lakeside.  You may notice yellow caution tape around some areas on campus, mostly for broken branches still in trees.  Please avoid those areas until Physical Plant can address the issue.  Our teams are working to ensure the grounds and facilities at both the Brunswick campus and Camden Center are safe for your return, and that there are no issues with network connectivity. A big thank you to our Physical Plant, Campus Police, and IT folks for all you have done and are doing to take care of campus.  You are all amazing!!!

Your personal safety always comes first, so please use extreme caution when traveling on the roads. We understand that some individuals may be facing challenging situations in relation to the storm. Supervisors are encouraged to accommodate those who may be having difficulties. 

We look forward to seeing you back on campus. Continue to stay safe everyone.
