Dear Colleagues:

I want to express my gratitude for your unwavering commitment to and efforts in upholding the core values and mission of the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I am proud to be your president and extend my sincerest thanks to each and every one of you.

As a gesture of my gratitude, I’m granting one day of paid Administrative Leave on Friday, July 5. Staff who do not have essential employee responsibilities will be excused from work. Policies governing leave administration are available on the Human Resource Services website. You will receive a follow-up email from your HR director or manager with more details, including how the leave should be coded on your timesheet.

I wanted to send this message now so you can plan and enjoy the extra day off in July.

Sincerely,

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS

President
