We hope this message finds you well as we enter the holiday season and the countdown to the end of 2022!
It is with immense appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding commitment, dedication, and perseverance our staff have demonstrated since the pandemic commenced that we share with you the following permanent additions to the holiday and wellness time off schedule.
Beginning this year, the college is permanently adding a wellness day off to coincide with the Thanksgiving break. The Wednesday prior to the Thanksgiving holiday will now be a wellness day off, extending the time off to three days. This year, the break will run from Wednesday, November 23, 2022, through Friday, November 25, 2022.
In our continued commitment to become an employer of choice and in recognition of the efforts of our staff throughout the year, we are also permanently adding Summer Restorative Fridays to the college’s paid time away benefit. These wellness days will be observed between the Friday following Commencement and early August. A notification will be sent each year identifying when Summer Restorative Fridays will begin and end.
We are excited for what the future will bring and know together we will continue to make Ithaca College a world-class institution at which to work and learn.
For the 2022-2023 schedule of college holidays, wellness days, and other paid time away benefits, please visit this webpage.
With continued care, and on behalf of the President’s Cabinet,
La Jerne Terry Cornish
