Due to ongoing weather conditions and campus being closed, FHU has made the difficult decision to cancel the FHU + L2L event.

This decision was made with the safety of our participants and families as our top priority. We are praying for those impacted by this ice storm, especially anyone without power, heat, or water.

Thank you for your understanding. Please stay safe and warm.
