Hello, Shocker family!
Even though it’s only October, I’m likely not the only one who is thinking ahead to the upcoming holiday season. Having a break to rest and refresh — as well as spend time with loved ones — is one of the many perks of working at Wichita State.
And on that note, I’m happy to announce that for this year’s winter break — in alignment with other Regents universities — benefits-eligible WSU employees will also be given Dec. 26-29 without having to use accrued leave time, in addition to Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
The winter break will look like this:
- Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023 (accrued leave)
- Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023 (accrued leave)
- Thursday, Dec. 21, 2023 (accrued leave)
- Friday, Dec. 22, 2023 (accrued leave)
- Monday, Dec. 25, 2023 (paid holiday)
- Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023 (paid day)
- Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2023 (paid day)
- Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023 (paid day)
- Friday, Dec. 29, 2023 (paid day)
- Monday Jan. 1, 2024 (paid holiday)
Thank you for all you do to make Shocker Nation what it is. Your efforts, enthusiasm and dedication are truly appreciated.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the semester and are looking forward to an enjoyable and relaxing winter break.
Go Shockers!
