"...give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away. My hope and prayer is that you take time to remember all the blessings you have to be thankful for in your life and spend some time with family and friends. Too often we focus on the material things and what is happening in our community and world. We are thankful for you, our alumni, and all of the faculty, staff and future alumni.
In this e-newsletter, read about a couple of alumni stories and share your
updates with us. You can also slow down and enjoy the season by attending or watching the live-stream of some of the fine arts programs we have on campus; or plan to attend one of the upcoming alumni events. Please review the information below and see how you can be involved.
Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving,
Michelle "Mickie" Wagner '96
