Special to The Prospector
UTEP announced that in anticipation of the Pope’s visit to Cd. Juárez on Feb. 17, the university will be closed. Only critical facilities support personnel and the UTEP Police Department will remain on duty. UTEP will resume normal operating hours on Thursday, Feb. 18.
To facilitate participation of residents on both sides of the border, the Catholic Diocese of El Paso has requested use of the Sun Bowl Stadium on the UTEP campus for a live feed broadcast of the mass, which will be celebrated by the Pope that afternoon in Ciudad Juárez.
Further information on the Sun Bowl event and how to attend will be announced soon.
