This Week Is Thank A Teacher Week!

Each May, the University System of Maryland Council for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning joins the Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation in planning faculty and instructor recognition activities as part of Thank A Teacher Week. This event coincides with the National Teacher Appreciation Week, which also is this week!

Students are invited to share their gratitude by writing a note on a physical postcard or by sending a note virtually. Students are asked to look for tables in the Guerrieri Academic Commons and the Guerrieri Student Union outside of Chick-fil-A where they can sign postcards. Last year, faculty and staff took advantage of this opportunity as well to share gratitude to colleagues.

Students have received communication via email and a MyClasses announcement regarding this event. More information is available at: www.salisbury.edu/thanks.
