As you may know, Residence conducts fire drills every September to ensure our residents would be ready in an emergency. The specific date of the drills are not shared with our residents. However, we have notified them that it will take place the week of September 19-22, and what they should do any time a fire alarm goes off so they can be prepared.
 
We understand that it is possible that a student may be in an online class while in residence when the drill takes place. Residents are expected to participate in the drill regardless of what they are doing at the time, and we ask that instructors who are teaching online courses after 5 p.m. this week to be understanding of the circumstances should a resident need to evacuate for the drill.
