2024 Summer Hours

Summer Hours "Early Fridays"

Recognizing the contributions of colleagues across the University, the President’s Cabinet is providing employees with a shortened work week, closing at noon on select Fridays during the summer months. The intent of this benefit is to provide employees more time to spend with their families and friends during the summer months. The Early Fridays schedule will be determined each year and annouced to all employees in late Spring.

Summer Attire

We recognize that many employees are on campus during the summer therefore business casual work attire is acceptable during the Summer (May-Aug).

Employees who report for work dressed inappropriately may be sent home to change.
