Sometimes teams need the extra nudge to disconnect...here are our tips for getting your team to unplug from email over the holidays.
Note: If you don't see Automatic Replies, use Rules and Alerts to set up your out-of-office message.
At the discretion of the president and with the subsequent approval of the vice presidents and deans of each division or college, an early dismissal may be authorized on the working day prior to a university holiday allowing staff members to leave campus at 2 p.m. — provided it is acceptable to their supervisor, all time-critical work is completed and no urgent business is anticipated.

OMG if I got this OOO message I would pee my pants laughing! I think its brilliant! (But perhaps thats my weirdness popping out again… shoo shoo get back)
First, here’s the out-of-message for people who don’t like watching video (although the person in the video is funny and really brings the message to life):

Thank you for your email. I’ll be offline through mid-January without access to email. In the interim, please contact Maya Schwartz, a sales and marketing manager here, at [email protected].
