Welcome to a new semester.  I hope your holidays were wonderful.

With the threat of inclement weather for the first day of classes, I
want to remind everyone of our procedures for announcing schedule
changes.

As soon as a decision is made, the Office of University Relations
contacts the following local television stations:
WDEF Channel 12 (Chattanooga Comcast Cable Channel 13)
WDSI Channel 61 (Chattanooga Comcast Cable Channel 11)
WRCB Channel 3  (Chattanooga Comcast Cable Channel 04)
WTVC Channel 9  (Chattnaooga Comcast Cable Channel 10)

We will also call as many radio stations as answer.  Most radio
stations no longer operate a news department and their morning staffs
are small, and we our calls to them during bad weather are often not
answered.

You can also call several phone numbers for up-to-date information.
The main UTC line, 755-4111, will be programmed with current
information, as will the UTC Snow Line, 755-4SNO (4766).  The
University Relations main line, 755-4363 will also be updated.

Additionally, the schedule change will be reflected on www.utc.edu
and a RAVEN email will be distributed.

Each of these is dependent upon electrical power, phone, and other
utility availability at the homes of the University Relations staff
members and we will do our absolute best to keep each of these
outlets updated.

In the event of bad weather, please be patient, safe, and smart.  Use
your best judgement about conditions in your area.

Thanks.
