Additional Paid Holidays This Winter Break

October 29, 2025

Dear SLU faculty and staff,
 
The work you do makes Saint Louis University an extraordinary place. Every day, you help SLU live its mission in meaningful ways as you teach and support students, conduct research and scholarship, care for our campus, keep our systems running, and engage in service that advances the common good.
 
In gratitude for all that you do, we have added three additional paid holidays to winter break: Monday, December 29; Tuesday, December 30; and Friday, January 2. With these days added, the University will be closed beginning December 24 and will reopen on Monday, January 5.
 
We recognize that some of our colleagues continue working during this time to support essential University operations. To you, we offer special thanks. You will be able to bank the additional holidays for future use.
 
Thank you again for your many contributions to SLU.
 
Sincerely,

Edward Feser, Ph.D.
President
