Express gratitude for your colleagues
One simple way to spread gratitude is through the University’s Recognition Portal, where Canes can send a note of appreciation to a co-worker, leader, or team. Throughout November, take part in the Gratitude Challenge by sending at least one recognition per week to a colleague, leader, or team who has made a positive impact. Canes who participate for three consecutive weeks will be entered for a chance to win a special prize! Whether it’s a simple “thank-you” or a heartfelt message of appreciation, your words can make someone’s day and remind us of the importance of being grateful. Learn more about the challenge.
