Students sharing their gratitude In November, the College of Business hosted a donor gratitude event that offered students the opportunity to thank College of Business supporters for their contributions. As part of the event, students filled out thank-you cards that were shared on College of Business social media pages. The cards asked students to explain what impact donor support has had on their education and add a message of gratitude. Although the event was originally scheduled for just one day, new cards trickled in for over a week, resulting in a large stack of responses. Here are just a few of those student messages.
