Emergency Weather Procedures
Arts and Sciences, using theater major
students who practice improvisation tech-
niques as patients, family members, or
physicians with a goal of having the sim-
ulated environment as real as possible.
Simulation allows students to practice not
only psychomotor skills such as listening
to heart tones or taking a blood pressure,
but thinking skills. Because the environ-

The following is information about how
Clayton State University handles dis-
seminating information during weather
emergencies.
During emergency weather situations,
information about Clayton State’s plans
will also be available on the
University’s
web
page
(www.clayton.edu), through emails
sent directly to all faculty, staff and stu-
dents, on the University Relations
Facebook and Twitter accounts, and
through the University’s main tele-
phone number (678) 466-4000. In addi-
tion, the four major Atlanta network tel-
evision stations (ABC, CBS, NBC,
Fox), All-News 106.7 WYAY-FM and
WSB-AM (750) radio will also be noti-
fied for their school closing announce-
ments.
Clayton State's "Stay Safe" weather
policy is as follows…
"At times of bad weather or other emer-
gencies, University officials make deci-
sions on whether or not to close the
campus based on public safety reports
and other considerations. In such cases,
the safety and security of the majority
of students is a prime consideration. If
the University is closed, then classes
are cancelled for all students.
"If the institution remains open, we rec-
ognize that there may be special cir-
cumstances that pertain to individual
students that are more serious than
those that apply to the majority. So, stu-
dents are advised to use their best judg-
ment about their safety and that of their
families in those situations, and to con-
sult with individual faculty members
about making up lost time.
“University closure also applies to all
University faculty and staff except
those designated by their supervisors as
essential personnel. If the institution
remains open, staff should consult with
their supervisor and make them aware
of any individual circumstances that
may exist that prevents them from
reporting to duty.”
The opening/closing policy for Clayton
State – Fayette and the Academy for
Advanced Studies in McDonough is as
follows… basically, the rule will be, if
the main campus is closed, Clayton
State – Fayette will be closed and
Clayton State classes in McDonough
will not be held.
Also, if the Henry County schools are
closed, Clayton State classes in
McDonough will not be held. If
Clayton State is open during inclement
weather, the status of Clayton State –
Fayette will be determined independ-
ently.
When in doubt, check the Clayton State
website for details.

Ellick praises Deckner, associate profes-

Science in Psychology program, for her
“guidance, assistance, encouragement,
and patience” throughout construction
and research of her thesis and proposal.
“I am grateful for the direction she pro-
vides and the genuine care she exhibits for
me academically, professionally, and per-
sonally. I truly appreciate her,” says
Ellick.
Langley is also appreciative of Deckner’s
assistance and comments that she and the
other,
“Applied
Developmental
Psychology faculty have been very help-
ful with the formulation and execution of
this project.”
The honor of having their proposals
accepted by SEPA, and being awarded the
opportunity of presenting their research to
decorated members of the psychological
field, will be sure to open doors says
Ellick, as she continues her education at
the Ph.D. level.
“I am confident that I will complete this
endeavor because of the foundation, edu-
cation and experience I am gaining here at
Clayton State University,” she states.
