This summer, Interim President Ray Kieft announced that Metro State will begin observing a fall semester break during the week of Thanksgiving. There will be no classes Nov. 22-27, but the college will remain open, except on the Thanksgiving holiday, Nov. 25. Administrative and classified staff may take annual leave as long as their supervisors approve and the office remains open and staffed.
