The University of Mississippi is closing its main campus in Oxford until Feb. 8 as a result of the lingering effects of Winter Storm Fern. Ole Miss officials announced that the campus closure includes the cancellation of all classes, events, and activities. Dangerous road conditions also pose a difficulty for staff and students to get to campus. “While our teams have worked tirelessly to restore operations, the impacts of this storm go far beyond our campus. For those not in the vicinity of campus, officials discourage travel at this time in order to provide first responders and university teams the ability to safely undertake recovery efforts.
