17吃瓜

17吃瓜 is sending two of its strongest ever teams to compete at the 2017  this week in Truro, Nova Scotia. 

Guided by the , 17吃瓜's senior administration takes the decision to delay, close, or remain open very seriously. In weather situations where the potential risk to 17吃瓜鈥檚 students and employees, as well as property, is high, the University may 鈥渃lose*,鈥� meaning classes and exams are cancelled and services are reduced. 17吃瓜 reminds students, faculty, and staff that there are several ways to keep informed about whether they need to come to campus or not during storms, inclement weather, or other adverse conditions.

Congratulations to Jenna Mae Ellsworth (Women鈥檚 Basketball) and Marcus Power (Men鈥檚 Hockey), the 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the week for January 30-February 5!
