UMFA Open Noon to 5 pm Tuesday, October 31

University of Utah classes are canceled Tuesday, October 31, out of respect for ChenWei Guo, a student who was killed Monday night in a senseless, random act of violence. UMFA galleries will be open from noon to 5 pm, to provide the campus and community a place for solace and reflection. No admission will be charged. The Museum Cafe and The Museum Store will be closed.

The University of Utah Counseling Center will be open today for anyone who needs services.
