Dear students,

Indeed it is that time of the year that we are reminded to give thanks for a myriad of things. We all have something or many things to be thankful for. As you visit with family and friends I wish you safe travel and hope that you will enjoy the fellowship of family and friends. Use the time off well, for we are nearing the end of another chapter in your academic pursuits.

Be safe, be sober and be kind.

Regards,

Dr. C.
PS. It won’t hurt to take a book, i.e. a text book, with you just incase you have a moment of quiet time.
