Attendance at Library-Sponsored and University Sponsored Academic Events

Library-Sponsored Events (excluding training):

Employees are encouraged to attend library-sponsored events. Support of these events promotes job satisfaction, increases the sense of community among employees and encourages potential donors and others to look at the libraries in a positive light.

Employees may attend library-sponsored events during their normal work hours without taking annual leave or making up hours. Attendance must be mutually acceptable to employees and their immediate supervisor.

If all members of a unit wish to attend the same event, then priority will be at the supervisor's discretion.

University-Sponsored Academic Events (excluding training):

Employees may attend up to 5 university-sponsored events per semester (Fall, Spring and Summer), taking place during their normal work hours, without taking annual leave or making up hours. Attendance must be mutually acceptable to employees and their immediate supervisor.

If all members of a unit wish to attend the same event, then priority will be at the supervisor's discretion.
