Note of Inspiration At least once a week, I receive an email, handwritten note, or KUDO from a student acknowledging a faculty member. I share these messages during our Faculty Council on a monthly basis. This month, I want to share with all of you an excerpt from a recent handwritten note from a student to a faculty teaching in our undergraduate programs.

Dear Faculty, I want to thank you for all that you have done for me. I remember meeting with you during class with tears in my eyes and you looked at me and said that you believed in me. That meant so much to me. You are the professor who I learned to listen during lectures and you made learning come alive! You asked us to achieve great things, to study harder and longer, and to overcome what we didn’t realize we could do. That impact meant so much to me! I have not only been inspired to be the best student I can be, but have been inspired to believe in myself. You saw my potential and it helped me light a fire. I have so much respect for you and am so thankful for you. I will always ask the best of myself and set my dreams and goals high! Graduating BSN student This is a reminder to all of us to send notes of appreciation and gratitude to those that inspire you. These acknowledgements help to ignite sparks all around.
