Welcome back! I hope everyone had a chance to rest and recharge over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Enjoy the festivities
I wanted to take a moment to invite you to the President’s Holiday Open House from 2-4 p.m. Dec. 6 in the PSU Grand Ballroom. Gail and I look forward to this event each year and hope you will join us.
You should have also received a coupon (via email) for a free cup of coffee from Starbuck’s in Plaster Student Union.
I would encourage each of you to take some time out during this busy month to use the coupon and enjoy a cup of coffee on us.
Make each moment count
As we head into the last few weeks of the semester, I want to encourage everyone to finish the year strong.
It is important that we remain mindful of students’ (and our fellow staff and faculty members’) stress levels as they complete their course work and take final exams – some for the first time.
A theme we see portrayed regularly this time of year is kindness. All of us should endeavor to be kind toward one another.
This is true regardless of our circumstances, our outlook on the state, nation and world around us, or our personal situation. It’s an opportunity to consider what connects us rather than what divides us.
The Missouri State community is united by our mission to educate students to be global citizen scholars committed to public affairs. Let’s continue to work together to put our mission into practice.
Update on FLSA
As many of you may be aware, last week a federal judge issued an injunction halting the new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) rule that was scheduled to go into effect Dec. 1.
The university is currently evaluating this action. Our plan is to provide a response to this in next week’s Clif’s Notes.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
