Day of Thanks Spreads Gratitude Across Champlain Community

Champlain College hosted its first-ever Day of Thanks on November 6 to show gratitude for our donors.

Fireside Lounge was bumping with tunes and buzzing with gratitude as students wrote “thank you” notes to donors, entered raffles, frosted cupcakes, painted pet rocks, made caramel apples, and shared messages on a chalkboard gratitude wall.

Day of Thanks was hosted by the Champlain College Advancement team as a way to share positive messaging to the many donors that make the student experience possible.

“Thank you for your generosity! Because of you, I’ve had life-changing experiences here at Champlain!” one card read.

“I’m thankful for the incredible opportunities in my major (Professional Writing) at home in VT, and abroad!” a message on the gratitude wall read.

Thank you to everyone who helped spread some love across the Champlain community. With Thanksgiving around the corner, remember to tell those around you why you’re thankful for them—friends, peers, family, faculty, staff, and beyond!
