While temporarily rectified, the electrical system failure that caused the ESU campus to lose power on Monday now needs to be fixed. To that end, there will be a planned power outage for the campus on Tuesday, August 11. All buildings will be closed Tuesday, August 11 from 6:00 AM until Wednesday morning, August 12 at 6:00 AM.
All employees working on campus should not come to campus on Tuesday, August 11 and work remotely if possible.
For those working remotely, all university online systems and services (i.e. ESU Data Center, Jabber, Teams, Zoom, Banner, OnBase, Canvas, Hornet365, Email, emporia.edu, etc.) are still online and operational from off-campus as long as you have access to the Internet (and an ESU laptop with VPN to secure systems). Please note that anyone using a remote desktop connection to a campus computer will not function during the outage.
Information about time reporting will be sent to payroll designees.
Supervisors, please share this information with staff who may not use email regularly.
Thank you for your cooperation while we repair this vital infrastructure.
