In an email to all Indiana University faculty and staff, IU President Pamela Whitten and executive leadership announced a university holiday this year on Wednesday, Nov. 24.

“IU faculty and staff are doing an amazing job serving our students and each other. We know that this has been extra challenging during a semester where we fully reopened our campuses after the pandemic,” Whitten’s email read. “As a way to say thank you for the extraordinary dedication and commitment of our IU employees during this unique semester, we are expressing our gratitude with an extension of Thanksgiving break.”

IU offices on all campuses will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 24, through Friday, Nov. 26.
