It’s that time of year again – Flexible Summer @ Mason is just around the corner!

Flexible Summer @ Mason runs from Sunday, May 23, 2022, to Saturday, August 13, 2022 this year. During this time, supervisors are strongly encouraged to allow their faculty and staff to integrate flexible work opportunities into their schedules, if and when possible. Flexible Summer is a great opportunity for employees who may not be able to utilize flexible work during the busier Fall and Spring semesters to enjoy the benefits of flexible work. While flexible work options are encouraged throughout the year, summer is a perfect time to make it happen!

Visit flexwork.gmu.edu for information about different types of flexwork. Please contact worklife@gmu.edu with any questions.

The annual World No Tobacco Day campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use.

The health benefits of quitting smoking can help most of the major parts of your body: from your brain to your DNA. Find out more at smokefree.gov, and get tools and tips on how to quit. You can commit to quit today and sign the pledge.
