Happy Thanksgiving
November 17, 2023
Happy Thanksgiving! In this season of giving thanks, I want to express my enormous gratitude for all you do on behalf of ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥. Each of our roles and contributions are different, but without our collective dedication, creativity and enthusiasm, we could not successfully deliver on our Augustinian Catholic mission.
Please know how grateful I am for your efforts, and it is in the spirit of gratitude that I am pleased to share the following updates:
- The University will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 22, for the Thanksgiving holiday.
- A floating holiday has been added to the 2024 Holiday Schedule. The floating holiday can be used for a religious or cultural observation or another special occasion during the year. Note: I have extended the 2024/2025 Holiday Schedule given the day on which Christmas falls in December 2024.
- Summer Fridays: From Monday, May 13, through Friday, Aug. 9, ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University will have a four-day workweek, with Fridays off.
Please note: All essential staff will still need to report as directed by their supervisor. Additionally, if your area or department requires an on-campus presence on Summer Fridays, the individuals who work Friday should be given alternative time off.
Thank you again for your many contributions to ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥. I hope that this holiday season is relaxing and restorative, allowing for time to enjoy the company of family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA
President
