Purdue to recognize faculty and staff with complimentary tickets to Dec. 20 women’s basketball game

Gateway to Purdue

As appreciation for their unwavering commitment and dedication to Purdue, university leaders and the Office of the First Lady are offering all faculty and staff complimentary tickets to the Dec. 20 women’s basketball game.

The Boilermakers are set to tip off at 11 a.m. against the Indiana State Sycamores at Mackey Arena. Each faculty and staff member can secure up to six tickets for an opportunity to enjoy the game with friends and family.

All staff can attend this game without loss of pay, vacation or personal holiday, according to Human Resources.

To facilitate attendance, Human Resources offers the following guidelines:

  • Attendance is covered in “worked regular” pay status for staff attending during normally scheduled work hours.
  • Temporary staff can attend as work schedules permit, but not in pay status.
  • Staff scheduled on the evening or night shifts and those not normally scheduled to work Dec. 20 are invited to attend.
  • Staff are not expected to return to work if one hour or less remains in their workday.
  • Staff on vacation or sick leave on Dec. 20 should remain on such status for the day. Regular pay status is not applicable for such staff.
