As you plan for the months ahead, please take note that Penn's traditional Special Winter Vacation will include an extra day this year. The Special Winter Vacation granted to faculty and staff will be December 24, 26, 27, 28, and 31, 2018. If an employee is required to work to continue departmental operations for part or all of this period, the special winter vacation can be rescheduled for some other time.

“Thanks to the President, Provost, and EVP for approving December 24 as an additional special winter vacation day this year,” said Jeff Rowland, Executive Director of Human Resources for Staff and Labor Relations.

Here is a complete list of the holidays that will be observed by the University in the upcoming fiscal year July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
