Emergency Shut Down Poll

Recognizing that any emergency shutdown is less than ideal, in the event of an emergency that demanded closing the college for a period of time, what challenges would your discipline or program face?

Based on your academic expertise, how could the college best plan to meet the academic needs of your students?

Could you meet the academic needs of the students using Blackboard or other online technology?
