On Thursday, September 8, 2005, the University has
adjusted the day's academic class schedule for the celebration of St. Thomas
of Villanova Day; additionally, offices will be closed at 1:00 p.m. on that
same day. These changes have been made in order to encourage
faculty, staff and students to join in the celebration of this special day.
For those offices/departments which are closed, the following text, or
something similar, should be used as a standard telephone voice message for
the afternoon period:
"Today is Thursday, September 8th, St. Thomas of Villanova Day at the
University. Offices closed at 1:00 p.m. so that students, faculty and staff
may participate in our celebration. Please leave a message and we will
return your call. For emergencies, call 610-519-6979."
Those departments, which still need to require employees to remain on duty,
should inform James Kane, Associate Director of Human Resources (ext. 94238
or e-mail "james.kane@villanova.edu")
regarding their plans.
