What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy the break from classes to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. One of my favorite childhood memories growing up in a family of nine was waking up on Thanksgiving morning to the aroma of the turkey in the oven.  My dad was an avid deer hunter so my mom would be up early to prepare a full breakfast before they ventured out.  She then would proceed to prepare the turkey, make the stuffing, and of course, the homemade pumpkin pie.  

Our family tradition as we sat down for Thanksgiving dinner later that day was to all share one thing that we were most grateful for.  Today, in the spirit of continuing that tradition, I share with all of you how grateful I am to be leading a college filled with great students who have chosen Moraine Park and the staff dedicated to meeting the needs of our students. Happy Thanksgiving!
