A FEW MORE THINGS...
Closed for the Holidays; Time Off Reminder
Hey Faculty and Staff!

Did you know that from December 27-30, university offices will be closed to the public. Employees may choose to take a vacation day, work from home (with approval from the supervisor), or come into the office.
 
There are some exceptions to this notice for areas that support a 24 hour, 7 days a week operation.

Also, don't forget that Christmas and New Years fall on a weekend this year, meaning that you have flexible holiday hours to use up. You should have received an email from UWP’s Human Resources this week regarding how to use those hours – please contact Human Resources @ hr@uwp.edu if you have any questions. 

You can also go to the UW System’s webpage to learn more about leave policies and how to use your leave hours.
Get Tested!
Get Vaccinated!
Get Boosted!
Heading home for the holidays or gathering with family? Don't forget that COVID-19 testing is available for all faculty and staff (regardless of vaccination status.)

Last day for testing this semester will take place on December 22 in Ranger Hall.


Looking to get your vaccine or booster? Reach out to the Student Health and Counseling Center to set up an appointment!
