With Winter Break quickly approaching, it is a good time for faculty and staff to update their out of office message and voicemail. Many people off site may not be expecting the college to be closed for two weeks, so it is important to alert those who may contact us that the college is closed. Before leaving for break, please be sure to update both your email out of office and voicemail message. Sample messages are included below. Please adjust dates accordingly if you are away for additional days.
Instructions on updating voicemail were sent out by KCKCC Technical Support earlier this semester. Please remember to change your voicemail back to the standard greeting once you return to the office.
