Semester Ending

Good Afternoon!

I hope that you all had a chance to enjoy each other's company at the End of the Semester Celebration today.  Thank you to Reginia Hughes, BriAnne Nichols, Hanan Merheb, and Dr. Dubravka Juraga for coordinating this wonderful celebration!

As we begin to close out the semester and our students slowly complete the remainder of their final exams I wanted to remind you of a few things-

1.  The college will be closed from Friday 12/23 through Monday 1/2.  All areas will reopen on Tuesday 1/3.  Access to buildings during this time and will require Dean approval through the appropriate form prior to Monday 12/19.

2.  In preparation for the campus closing please unplug all electrical devices within your workspace and secure all belongings.  It is recommended that all staff take home personal belongings during this time.

3.  The Division of Academic Success will begin intercession hours on Friday 12/16.

Thank you and have a great week!

Debbie
