As you know from an email last month, all classes are canceled on Friday, October 16, for an all-employee event to allow all faculty and staff to participate in an important university-wide discussion and planning session.
I hope that you will take advantage of this “bonus day” to IUP’s Fall Pause (no classes on Monday, October 19, and Tuesday, October 20) to rest and recharge and return to classes energized and ready for the final weeks of the fall semester.
If you enjoy this break, you can thank the Student Government Association. SGA advocated for a Fall Pause in response to student concerns for self-care; Fall Pause was added to the university’s academic calendar in 2021.
If you have questions about your courses or academic responsibilities for October 16, please contact your instructor. For other questions, please reach out to your faculty advisor or navigator.
I hope you have an enjoyable break and a successful finish to the semester.
Provost Luetkehans
P.S. -- Thank you for your participation in the Informal Conversation on Tuesday, October 13.
