Each holiday break, the On Campus Mom Foundation monitors weather patterns across the country in an effort to predict in advance any potential airport strand situation. Parents with traveling Bears are encouraged to be proactive in monitoring layover airport locations.
In the event of a possible strand situation due to unfavorable weather conditions, parents are encourage to reach out to the On Campus Mom Foundation so we can reach out to the appropriate Airport Strand Volunteer and send an alert of a possible forthcoming strand situation.
An Airport Strand Volunteer will then be connected with the parent of the potentially stranded Bear for open communication concerning plan of action. Coordinators will be required to download Flight Stats App which will allow the capability to track any flight, domestic or international for continual schedule updates/delays/cancellations.
Parents we encourage you use this app as well. Our goal is to serve as a bridge between parents and volunteers in advance whether the strand occurs or not as we feel this will allow less stress and peace of mind in the event that travel plans go awry.
