UHV Katy closed Wednesday through Friday
Tuesday, August 25, 2020 | By
<p>The University of Houston-Victoria will close its Katy instructional site Wednesday through Friday because of Hurricane Laura, and all instruction there will move online those days.</p>
<p>At this time, the main UHV campus in Victoria will be open on Wednesday, and further updates will be provided midday through the UHV Emergency Alert system at <a href="http://www.uhv.edu/alert">www.uhv.edu/alert</a>.</p>
<p>While Hurricane Laura is expected to make landfall in southeast Texas or southwest Louisiana Wednesday night or Thursday morning, it is possible that the track could still shift west.</p>
<p>“We decided to close UHV Katy out of an abundance of caution,” said Chance Glenn, UHV provost and vice president for academic affairs. “We will continue to monitor the weather through briefings from the National Weather Service and will make decisions based on keeping our faculty, staff and students safe.”</p>
