Summer Socials

The Office of Student Activities and University Life are sponsoring Summer Socials on Wednesdays in June and July; faculty and staff are cordially invited. It's a great opportunity to take a break, take a walk, and mix a bit. Summer Social Schedule

Summer Flex!

With summer comes Summer Flex! It's underway from May 17 through August 15, 2009. Didn't try it out last summer? Talk with you supervisor about trying it this time around. Summer Flex is designed to "test drive" flexible work options. It's a great opportunity to start that conversation about the role flexible work can play in a range of areas -- environmental (pollution, road congestion), work/life balance, retention, and continuity of operations.

For information on Summer Flex and flexible work options at Mason, please visit the Flexible Work page.
