Dear Faculty Colleagues,
As we enter the waning weeks of the semester, take a few minutes to reflect on your experiences this semester – with students, faculty colleagues, family, and friends – for which you are thankful.
I will share that I’m thankful for what will be very soon three fantastic years as dean at Kansas State, and a family who supported me in the move to a new adventure. I’m thankful for our college faculty and staff who do so much to impact the lives of our students through their teaching, mentoring, and advising. I’m thankful for the staff who make our jobs enjoyable and productive. I’m thankful for our students who are seeking that Arts & Sciences educational experience that will prepare them to go out into the world and make a difference. I’m thankful for our alumni and friends who share their talents, time, and treasure with us – they share great stories and ideas with us and draw pleasure from investing in the people who are K-State.
Whether you are headed over the river and through the woods or are planning to stay here in Manhattan, have a safe, thoughtful, and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.
Peter
