Updated Winter Break Schedule

Important Announcement image of Renisha Gibbs, Associate Vice President

This message to all faculty and staff has been approved by Renisha Gibbs, Associate Vice President for Human Resources and Finance & Administration Chief of Staff.

Dear Colleagues, 
In recognition of our employees’ service and dedication, President McCullough has added additional days to the Winter Break Holiday Schedule. Winter Break will begin on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, and the University will resume normal business operations on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. The President is pleased to provide these additional days in support of our faculty and staff. We hope you enjoy this extra time with family and friends.

Generally speaking, the University will be closed from December 21 – January 2, 2023. However, services that are essential to the University (as determined by department heads) must continue. Therefore, any employee (A&P, USPS, or 12-month Faculty) required by the department head to work during the Winter Break days may be eligible to earn compensatory leave. 

Due to winter break, the payroll schedule for pay period ‘M’ (ending 12/22/22) must be accelerated. Departments should ensure necessary tasks are completed for accurate payroll processing. Adjusted processing calendars will be forwarded by the Office of Human Resources, as well as a communication providing further procedural information regarding the appropriate use of leave and the notice of unions. 

Thank you for your ongoing service and support to the University. We look forward to returning recharged and invigorated in 2023. 

Renisha Gibbs
Associate Vice President for Human Resources
Finance & Administration Chief of Staff
