The University of Georgia has been closely monitoring the development of Hurricane Helene, which continues to intensify as it rapidly approaches landfall. Forecasters warn that this dangerous storm could bring heavy rain and high winds across the state, potentially reaching unprecedented levels here in the Athens area. Therefore, with the safety and security of our faculty, staff and students foremost in our minds, the main campus of the University of Georgia will be closed on Thursday, Sept. 26 and Friday, Sept. 27. Further updates will be sent as they become available.
