Holiday Email Replies

On MGA's University-wide holiday teleworking day, December 23, faculty and staff are not to use automatic email replies or other voicemail messages suggesting the university is closed. Messages of that nature are only to be used if you are on leave or while the University is closed from December 24 through January 1.

Please use the following message samples for automatic email replies:
