As you may know, Residence conducts fire drills every September at both the North and Lakeshore campuses to ensure our residents are ready for emergencies. The specific dates of the drills are not shared with our residents. However, we have notified them that it will take place next week between Monday, September 18 and Friday, September 22 and have provided instructions on what to do so they can be prepared.

We understand that there might be residents preparing to go to class or potentially participating in online classes when the fire drill takes place. Residents are expected to participate in the drill regardless of what they are doing at the time. We kindly ask that professors teaching courses after 5 p.m. next week be understanding of the circumstances should a resident be delayed due to the need to evacuate for the drill.
