Give Thanks: Affirmations for Scholars

GIVE THANKS

A THANK YOU NOTE MOVEMENT FOR ACADEMICS

Before every invited talk, behind every publication, in between every revise and resubmit, across every lesson plan, scholars and instructors are doing formidable professional, interpersonal, and personal work that often remains unknown, unseen, and unthanked. For and to you, and for the excellence, the experience, the expertise you bring with you everywhere you go,

we now give thanks.
