Dear SSU Students,
We strongly encourage all students who are still on campus to leave as soon as possible. We are NOT under evacuation at this time, but the weather conditions are changing rapidly. If you have a way to leave campus safely and get to a safe place, please do so now.
If we have to evacuate later, you will have to leave on the official buses. You will NOT be allowed to drive your cars.
Before leaving, CHECK OUT with your CSA so we know where you are.
Classes and University business remain suspended until Monday, October 16, 2017.
For questions or concerns regarding the fires, please call (707) 664-4391 or (707) 664-4390. For emergencies call 911. Please do not call University Police unless you need a police officer. Please continue to check sonoma.edu for ongoing updates as the situation unfolds.
Please continue to put safety first,
