“As Oxford continues to experience impact from the extreme winter weather including hazardous driving conditions, the University of Mississippi Oxford and regional campuses will remain closed Thursday (Jan. 18) and Friday (Jan. 19).
Severe winter weather and extreme cold temperatures in Oxford and the surrounding region have created hazardous roads and walkways that are now covered in a layer of ice.
To ensure the safety and well-being of our students returning to campus and to give our facilities teams time and space to clear ice from the campus, the university will delay the start of the spring semester from Monday, Jan. 22 to Thursday, Jan. 25.”
The University of Mississippi, affectionately known as Ole Miss, is Mississippi’s flagship university. A member of the elite group of R1: Doctoral Universities - Highest Research Activity by the Carnegie Classification, Ole Miss has a long history of producing leaders in public service, business, academics and the professions. Its 16 academic divisions include a major medical school; nationally recognized schools of accountancy, law and pharmacy; and an Honors College acclaimed for a blend of academic rigor, experiential learning and opportunities for community action. Acclaimed as one of the nation’s most beautiful, Ole Miss's main campus is in Oxford, which is routinely recognized as one of the nation's best college towns.
