Dear Colleagues and Students,
Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our community—our students, faculty, staff, alumni, patients, visitors, and fans.
Over the past several months, a national dialogue has developed around hoverboards in light of safety concerns raised by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC has issued a strong warning about hoverboards after batteries within the devices were reported to burst into flames — especially while being charged — resulting in a metal fire that can burn with intense heat.
