Celebrate Gratitude with Our Thankful Tree

As we enter the season of gratitude, McKee Library invites the entire campus community to participate in our annual Thankful Tree tradition. From now until November 15, we encourage students, faculty, and staff to take a moment to reflect on the blessings in their lives and share them by writing what they are thankful for on a leaf. These leaves can then be added to our tree, located in the library’s main entrance, creating a visual display of thankfulness. Our goal is to fill the tree with expressions of gratitude as we celebrate the beauty of blessings this Thanksgiving season.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — 1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)
