Dear Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Community,Ìý

As the winter holidays approach, I would like to provide details about the university’s upcoming closings December 24 through January 2, 2023. Ìý

Throughout the winter break, faculty, and staff will have access to their offices using their Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ swipe cards, but reduced heating and lighting will be in effect.
