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.
Thank yourself. . . . screen-grab the thank you note that honors your experience.
““In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.” Thurgood Marshall”
Thank others. . . screengrab the thank you note, email it to a colleague, text it to a friend, whoever comes to mind. Let them know that they matter.
““No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.”
Althea Gibson”
