SHARE Reduced Services during upcoming Holidays

October 21, 2025
Dear SHARE Departments, Units & Colleagues, 
It is that time of year! The holidays are approaching and hopefully you are getting into the spooky Halloween spirit, or at least enjoying this fall. It has its own special kind of magic. 
We are writing to share our staffing plans ahead of the Thanksgiving and Winter holidays. SHARE will have reduced services throughout Thanksgiving week (11/24 - 11/28) and the two weeks that include the Christmas and New Years holidays (12/22 - 1/2). This means we are all but closed. We will of course handle anything urgent or deadline-driven. Typical services and responses will resume after everyone is back on Monday 12/1, and Monday 1/5. So... please get your requests in early! We hope to get as much done as possible, before these breaks.
A lovely graphic has been added at the top of this webpage as a continual reminder, to help you plan ahead. 
We hope you are also planning for a well-deserved break! It is so important to take the time to do a few things you enjoy, connect with the people in your life (or furry/scaly friends) and think of things you are thankful for. 
We are thankful for all of you and your partnership in delivering on our amazing campus mission. Wishing you a very happy fall!~
Warm Regards,
Teal
