SEVERE WEATHER PLAN
The safety of the Dickinson community is the college’s primary objective. In the case of severe weather conditions on Sunday, the Commencement ceremony will be moved indoors to the Kline Athletic Center. A severe weather plan will be used only in the case of thunder, lightning, high winds, hail or other conditions that make it unsafe to hold the Commencement ceremony outside. Rain alone does not constitute severe weather.
In case of severe weather, an announcement will be made by 7 a.m. on Sunday of Commencement on the ³¦´Ç±ô±ô±ð²µ±ð&°ù²õ±ç³Ü´Ç;²õ homepage. If in doubt, you may call 717-245-1900 for information. Should severe weather conditions exist, seniors will line up on the mezzanine level of the Kline Athletic Center. Should the Commencement ceremony be held indoors, a ticketing policy will be in effect. This ensures that if Commencement is held indoors, all attendees will be in a safe environment that is compliant with local fire and occupancy codes.
