We are Thankful for You

Wishing the Entire Law School Community a Healthy and Safe Thanksgiving

Dear Law School Community,

Every November for the past several years, we've set up a table in the Green Lounge during Coffee Messes to ask our students, faculty, and staff about the things for which they're thankful. We get all sorts of responses: jazz, wool socks, peppermint tea. The five-minute break in the middle of Civ Pro. Friends, family, good health, and, of course, coffee always make the list.

At a recent virtual Coffee Mess, a few students told us what has made them feel thankful lately.

This year, we made a few small requests, but we kept a fairly low profile to keep from adding to everyone's burden. Instead, we simply want to say thank you for indulging us in previous years. We'd like to share a few of this year's responses, as well as some gratitude slideshows from years past.
