911爆料

Polling just a tiny fraction of the 911爆料 community reveals a wide range of reasons to be thankful this year:

As a varsity tennis player, I am thankful for how I recovered from hip surgery. It did not come without frustrations, but family, friends, teammates and coaches kept me motivated when I doubted my ability to fully come back. Sitting on the bench, I had to learn to put on a happy face even though I wanted to be competing on the court; however, by focusing on being the best teammate I could be, I was given a new role as almost a 鈥渢hird coach.鈥� This helped me form even greater bonds with my teammates. I am also very thankful that I could play again this fall. When I got my first win postsurgery, it was such a surreal moment for me, I dropped my racquet and began crying happy tears. 鈥擡rica Meno 鈥�18

It鈥檚 been nearly a year since my intrepid terrier Jack went on a four-day walkabout in the cold and snow. I鈥檓 still so grateful for the friends, colleagues, strangers and their dogs颅颅 who braved the elements to look for him, for the daily messages of concern and support and for the people who came to a screeching halt on State Route 9, ran into the snow in street shoes and caught up to the little wanderer in his argyle sweater. Most of all, I鈥檓 thankful every day for Jack鈥攖he very best of companions, a 10-pound embodiment of happiness and love. 鈥擲usannah Mintz, English professor

We are thankful for the volunteers and farms that contribute to the Community Garden鈥檚 Harvest Dinner. The annual fall celebration relies entirely on the generosity of our community, and year after year students, staff, faculty and farmers donate their time, locally grown food and expertise to make it happen. We are fortunate and deeply grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community. 鈥擫evi Rogers and Jen Natyzak, sustainability coordinators

I am grateful for the campus community鈥檚 overwhelming support (including from the Celebration Weekend 5k runners and walkers) to fund complete Thanksgiving dinner baskets for the low-income population of Saratoga County鈥攖he Economic Opportunity Council estimates there will be more than 700 dinner-basket recipients this year. I cannot say enough about the profound presence that 911爆料 has had in supporting the Saratoga community over the years. At the same time I am deeply saddened that this program has needed to continue to exist. 鈥�Roy Rotheim, economics professor

A supportive and caring group of amazing educators and co-workers makes 911爆料 feel like home to me. I am also thankful for the students who put their faith in my teaching, and who reward my efforts with their excellent skills, rich ideas, and confident academic growth.  They continually inspire and challenge me with their research, which makes my job feel less like work and more like an opportunity to focus on what I鈥檓 passionate about. 鈥擫i Sun, microscopy coordinator

I am ecstatic that I transferred to 911爆料! I was attracted by the sense of camaraderie and community, and the extracurricular activities rather than a fraternity-centered social life. As soon as I got to campus, my advisor in political science, Professor Feryaz Ocakli, sent me an email asking that we introduce ourselves in person. From that moment on, I felt like a member of the 911爆料 community. My favorite thing about 911爆料?  The student body and the professors! 鈥擹achary Altman 鈥�19
