Showing Gratitude Helps Students Thrive
At the end of each semester we invite all of the University of Arizona community to show thanks through the Gratitude Project. Studies show that people who show gratitude are more likely to thrive. We know that students who are more engaged with the University of Arizona community, and have connected with another University of Arizona community member feel a stronger sense of belonging, and are more likely to succeed at the University of Arizona. We want the University of Arizona to be a community where everyone can create connections to peers and colleagues.
For the past 4 years, The Gratitude Project has sent thousands of thank you cards from community members to their fellow Wildcats, faculty, and staff. Encourage your student to thank anyone that has had a positive impact on you them this semester, or during their time at the University of Arizona. We will send them an e-card or e-postcard with your message of gratitude. Send as many as you like!
You can also show gratitude on Instagram using templates from @WildcatConnections or @UAGratitude.
