A bit of holiday cheer as we close the year

December 17, 2021

Today is the last day in the office for most of us. The University will be closed December 20-January 3. Our After Hours Help page will connect you to resources if you have an urgent need that cannot wait until we reopen on January 4. For questions or concerns that are not about immediate, urgent, life and safety kinds of issues, we ask you to hold those until the University reopens.

I thought since Christmas is a little more than a week away, it might be fun to take a look back at some of the celebrations that took place while your Deacs were still on campus. Enjoy the pictures below, which were from the Lovefeast and the Lighting of the Quad. I love seeing all our students’ happy faces in these pictures!

We’ll close on a program note: I will continue bringing you the Daily Deac throughout the winter break, so look for it at 5 pm or so every weekday.

In the words of my late P’92 mom, I wish you all a safe, healthy, and happy holiday and all the best for the New Year!
