Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂🦃

This Thanksgiving, we want to express gratitude toward our wonderful faculty and staff. Your hard work, grit, and positive energy are appreciated!

Our HR team wishes you a day full of delicious food, laughter, and gratitude.

On Wednesday, our team gathered for a cozy Thanksgiving luncheon, which was filled with warm soups, delicious dips, and sweet desserts. 🍲🧁

As we celebrate the season of giving thanks, each member took a moment to share why they were thankful for another colleague. These heartfelt messages form our own Wall of Gratitude!

What are you thankful for this season?

Today, we honor and recognize the veterans, along with the families that have supported them throughout their careers. We are grateful for your courage, resilience, and commitment.

It's World Mental Health Day.

How are you observing? A calm walk? Meditation? Yoga?

Mental health affects us all, and it deserves our care and attention every day. We encourage everyone to take a moment to check in with themselves and others.

Our Health & Wellness Expo was a great success!

With over 40 community and campus vendors, faculty and staff had the chance to explore benefits, discover new wellness resources, and take advantage of on-site flu shots, hearing tests, and body composition scans.

Thank you to our vendors and colleagues who made this day worthwhile. Together, we're staying COCKY about our health!
