Hurricane Michael Update
This morning we’re taking stock after yesterday’s powerful storm, which left considerable wind and water damage across parts of campus. We’re grateful that all students, faculty and staff are safe, and deeply thankful to our facilities, police and residence life staff who worked through the night. Longwood always rises to the occasion in a real crisis.
We were lucky compared to some of our neighbors in our home community of Farmville, who experienced the worst of the damage locally. We’ll continue to communicate over the days to come as we work over fall break to get our campus fully up and running as soon as possible.
Hurricane Michael Update: Longwood Closed Friday
The university will be closed on Friday, and only essential personnel are expected to report. We’ll be working to assess damage and address issues on campus as quickly as possible.
Dorrill Dining Hall plans to be open from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
