Washington and Lee University
I am pleased to announce the schedule of paid holidays for 2010. For your convenience, I have
also included the remaining holidays for 2009.
In 2010, undergraduate commencement occurs before Memorial Day. President Ruscio has
designated Memorial Day as an additional paid holiday in 2010 and in any subsequent years in
which commencement occurs before the Memorial Day holiday. Since New Year's Day in 2011
falls on a Saturday, it will be observed on December 31st 2010.
As a reminder, departments may choose to close their offices this year between December 24th
and January 4th. Decisions to close should normally be made early in the year so employees can
save CTO to be used during the period the department is closed. Please send any changes to
your department's normal hours of operation during the holidays to humanresources@wlu.edu
by November 20 and we will include the revised hours in the December issue of the newsletter,
Campus Connections.
