Dear Residents,
Southern California Edison, our electricity provider, is on campus making repairs to fix the problem that caused the power outage earlier today.
In order to complete the necessary repairs, sometime between midnight and 5 a.m., the power will be shut down for 10 to 15 minutes.
In anticipation of this happening close to midnight, we will be shutting down the HAWC at 11:30 p.m.. Make sure you grab your late night munchies early!
Lastly, make sure that you have an alarm not plugged into the wall for morning classes.
