Dear Colleagues,
I hope you enjoyed some time away from campus last week as WKU closed for three days of Spring Break. We continue our efforts to enhance work/life harmony for each member of our WKU Family. These additional days of paid time off create opportunities for prioritizing individual and family well-being. Paid time off, as well as the upcoming reduced-hour summer schedule, remain essential components of our overall compensation package.
As our students return from their break, it’s important that we reignite our efforts to support them as they finish the spring term. We know that many will struggle between now and the end of the semester. Please reinforce for them their capacity to succeed, to overcome and to persist with seven weeks to go. If they are dealing with non-academic issues, we must connect them with the tools and resources they need.
