Dear MSU Community,

Gratitude is a habit: A good practice that moves us to take time to voice our appreciation. It is wise and rewarding to make an inventory of our blessings, joys and learned lessons and to share with others what that rich bounty means to us.

Today -- and every day -- I thank the students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of MSU for the privilege of living in their midst. For the accomplishments and the victories, for the challenges and the pains, for everything good and beautiful you have brought to my life and to the lives of each other, I say: Thank you.

May you and your loved ones enjoy a Happy Thanksgiving.
