During the University’s extended winter break – from the close of business on Monday, December 22, 2025, through Tuesday, January 6, 2026 – most University offices will be closed, while some support resources will remain available. Note that Brown’s emergency services – including the Department of Public Safety (DPS), Brown Emergency Medical Services (BEMS), and the Administrator on Call (AOC) – are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

Campus Life's Winter Break Resources webpage provides consolidated information on student support, healthcare, housing, dining, recreation, shuttle services, and the library. Please visit and bookmark this link (https://campus-life.brown.edu/seek-support/winter-break-resources), and include it in your out-of-office message and email signature to keep this information readily accessible to our community. 

Wishing everyone a safe, restorative, and joyful Winter Break!
