SUBJECT: 2006 University Holiday Calendar and Emergency Closing Reminder

DATE: November 11, 2005

Below is the approved University Holiday schedule for calendar year 2006. The calendar maintains the total annual University paid holidays for full-time staff at 15. You will note that in 2006, a floating holiday is granted to maintain this target.

University Holiday Calendar Year 2006

Floating Holiday * 
*One additional holiday is granted as designated by the employee.

Please remember that the University will begin its 2005 extended holiday closing on December 23, 2005 and will re-open on January 3, 2006 .

This is also a good time to remind you that Pace University 's Emergency Closing policy is available on our website at http://www.pace.edu/page.cfm?doc_id=9118 . Please re-familiarize yourself with the procedures and notification processes that will be followed in the event an emergency closing is required due to inclement weather. It is also recommended that departmental telephone records and phone chains be updated now in order to ensure timely and organized communication when a decision to close the University or one of its campuses is made during early morning hours.

My best wishes to all during the upcoming holiday season.

Thank you.
