Dear Â鶹´«Ã½ Family,

As we pause this Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family, friends, and loved ones, let us reflect on all that we have to be grateful for. This year, I share my message with you in a video from our Gothic Knight Food Pantry, a vital resource that plays an essential role in addressing food insecurity on our campus.

Thanksgiving is not only a time to appreciate what we have, but also to reflect on what we’ve endured. It’s a time to find grace in the moments that tested us and to offer forgiveness for the moments when we may have fallen short. It’s a time to celebrate the joy of gathering, while also holding space for those we miss and the challenges we’ve faced together.

May this season bring you peace, gratitude, and a renewed sense of connection to one another. From my family to yours, I wish you a happy, healthy, safe, and celebratory Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,


Interim President
New Â鶹´«Ã½ City University
