Gratitude takes center stage in November

November marks National Gratitude Month, a special time to recognize the value of gratefulness.

Do you have a colleague at the University of Miami who has gone the extra mile to assist you? Perhaps there’s a professor who has exhibited the same extraordinary level of dedication in the classroom. If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to express—or reiterate—your appreciation.

Research indicates that gratitude can be profoundly beneficial. Those who make gratitude a part of their everyday lives tend to be happier and enjoy improved health.

The University’s Division of Development and Alumni Relations is actively engaged in spreading the message of thankfulness by encouraging members of the University community to connect with one another and convey their gratitude.

"We believe in practicing gratitude every day of the year, and we invite you to join us in extending your gratitude throughout this entire month," said Josh Friedman, senior vice president for Development and Alumni Relations. “Our generous donors, students, faculty, colleagues, patients, alumni, and friends are the flame that keeps our light shining bright.”

Remember, as National Gratitude Month begins Nov. 1, the simplest way to express your gratitude to a member of the ’Canes family is by sending an electronic note of appreciation through Thank a ’Cane.
