Dear SHARE Region,

Summer sessions hiring continues to begin earlier year over year. In order to reduce unnecessary onboarding we will be placing ASE/GSRs on short work breaks (SWB) over the summer like we have done over the past three years. The units that will be exempt from this will be Space Sciences Laboratory, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
