Hi {{Lived-Mailing-Name}},

Before closing your laptop and logging out for the upcoming holiday weekend, take note of the important information and upcoming events we have for you. Our office and the University will be closed Friday, July 3rd, in observance of Independence Day. Keep this in mind when reaching out with questions or concerns, as there will be a delay in response.
