Happy Thanksgiving! What is the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life Staff Thankful For? Todd C. Sullivan: I am thankful for a community of Greeks that lookout for each other. Jamel Catoe: This year, I’m thankful for the basic things that matter a ton… health, family, friends, fraternity, freedom, and being part of UConn and the OFSL Staff. Kylie Corcoran: This year, I am thankful for the lessons I have learned, my stellar students, and my fabulous friends. Jessica Emig: I am thankful for my supportive family and friends and my dog, Detour. I am also blessed for the ability to earn my master’s degree and learn about the Higher Education & Student Affairs field here at UConn. But mostly, I am thankful for the opportunity to work with remarkable students on a daily basis. They never cease to challenge me to see a new perspective, to teach me a lesson, or to simply help me grow as a professional and for that, I am forever grateful. Betty Conklin: I am thankful for my family and friends. Greg Brennan: This year, I’m particularly thankful for the opportunity to work in the OFSL with such a great group of individuals. I’m also thankful for the new relationships I’ve developed in the beginning of my final year here at the University of Connecticut. As I finish my undergraduate education, I have a newfound respect for the chances I’ve had at UConn, from joining my fraternity, to learning about diverse topics, to attending service trips. Jonathan Cáez: I’m thankful for life, love, and the passion to fight for both. Kaitlin Latham: I am so thankful for the love and support my friends and family have shown me throughout some difficult times this past year! I wouldn’t be as strong, confident, and determined without them and their unconditional support!
