UVU Brandon D. Fugal Gateway Building Officially Open

On Wednesday December 1, 2021, UVU celebrated the opening of the Brandon D. Fugal Gateway Building. The completion of the Brandon D. Fugal Gateway Building marks a new beginning for UVU.

IR Holiday Social

Monday, December 13, will be our in-person IR Holiday Social. We will be having breakfast and a white elephant gift exchange. The limit for the gift is $10 (although it can certainly be less than that); the more outrageous the gift, the better. (No live animals, extremely large/heavy things that cannot fit in a car, or anything that would violate Title IX.)

This will be our second collaboration day in December, so the sub-department meetings the following week (December 20) have been changed to Teams meetings (although you are still welcome to come to campus that day if you would like).

Full-time employees will lose all personal leave and any vacation hours over 240 on December 31. There are 3 paid holidays in November for Thanksgiving and 6 paid holidays in December for Christmas/New Year's, so be sure to figure that into your time off--plus the leave you will be accruing in the paychecks before the end of 2021.

Part-time staff can make up holiday hours

Part-time staff may work more hours before and/or after holidays with supervisor approval as long as the Payroll time policies are followed (not more than 39 hours per week AND less than 120 hours in November and 112 hours in December).
