And the thank yous go to….

“I looked around the room and was so thankful for the opportunity to have met these people.” The best thing about this statement is that it would be just as true in the undergraduate admission conference room as it would be in my sorority sister’s living room. My coworkers and the people I’ve met since moving to Williamsburg have been some of the best people I’ve ever had the opportunity to interact with. I’ve learned a ton and have had a ton of fun while doing so.

I can think of a number of ways to go about sharing the things that I’m most thankful for, but that list would go on forever. So, I’ve decided to compile a list of things I’m thankful for, at or associated with the work I do and the people I work with here at W&M. So here it goes…

I’m thankful for…

Cuban coffee

I’ve had an amazing time so far here at W&M and I’m certain that the fun times have just begun.
