Hello [NAME],
In order to decrease the spread of COVID-19, [UNIVERSITY] has decided to modify the academic calendar to minimize travel during the semester and end earlier than a typical semester. To see how holidays and breaks may be changed, check out the Academic Calendar [LINK]. Note that this may affect your courses as well so check in with your instructors about any schedule changes.
