Snow cancels classes, elevates students’ spirits

Students scurried to classes as snow fell Tuesday. According to a campus e-mail written by Kelli Horst, director of communications, classes starting at 5 p.m. or later were canceled because of the snow but the university remained open.

Krista Coffey, a sophomore nursing major, said she couldn’t have been happier when she heard the news. She had a test in her 6:30 p.m. class. Coffey said she had just started cramming for it when her friend, Mary Russell, also a sophomore nursing major, broke the news to her that classes had been canceled.

“I had been having a really good day already before classes were canceled, but not taking the test is just icing on the cake for me.”

Emily Young, a freshman secondary education major, saw snow for the first time in six years as she played in it outside of Jarvis Hall with her friends.

“I have been waiting for this all year long,” Young said. “I haven’t seen snow in six years because I’ve been living in Japan.”

For further information about possible class cancellations, Horst said, students can contact the TCU home page, local television and radio stations, or the TCU information line at (817) 257-5604.
