<div dir="ltr"><p>Dear Entomology,</p><p>I hope this message finds you well and staying cool during this heat wave!</p><p>I'm writing to let you know that our administrative unit will be <strong>closing at 12:00 PM on Friday, August 29th</strong>. We are coordinating with Receiving to ensure we can accommodate any early deliveries of goods that day.</p><p>This early closure will allow our team uninterrupted time to catch up on emails and other important tasks in preparation for the start of the academic year.</p><p>While our physical office will close at noon, staff <i>not already on approved leave</i> will remain available via <strong>email and Zoom chat</strong> throughout the day should you need assistance.</p><p>
</p><p></p><p></p><p>Thank you for your understanding and support as we gear up for a strong start to the new quarter.</p><p>Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. </p><p>Best,</p><p><i><span style="font-size:11pt;color:blue"><b><font face="georgia, serif">Wendi Tapia</font></b></span></i></p><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:11pt">Financial & Administrative
