Dear AU community,

This year, through your dedication and collaboration, we have continued to make significant impact in our community and beyond. Our AU changemaking spirit and actions have made a difference! In honor of your contributions and with deep appreciation for all that you do, AU will close on Friday, December 22, so that our community can begin the winter break a day early. We wanted to share this good news with you as soon as possible so you can plan for your winter break.

For our team members who work on December 22 in support of core campus functions and some time-sensitive efforts this year in areas such as enrollment, advancement, Workday implementation, and more, thank you so much! Our holiday leave and compensation provisions for essential workers who may need to work on December 22 will apply. 

I wish you a restful and joyous time with family and friends.

Onward,

Sylvia
