Good morning students,

A happy early Thanksgiving to you all. A few things I am thankful for about my students.

• Thank you for taking the time to spell my first name correctly.

• Thank you for reaching out when you have questions and need support.

• Thank you for being here at U-M and making a difference in this beautiful world.

Motivational: "...Everyone says stress is bad, avoid it, reduce it, run away from it, deny it. And instead I try to teach my students and the executives I work with to acknowledge their stress, it exists, to welcome it. It’s there because they care about something...if we trust our bodies and rise to the occasion when we experience stress, then we’ll all be better off." -Dr. Modupe Akinola
