That's a lot of gratitude! Each year, the Gratitude Project brings together students and local community members to share what's important in their lives. Participants write messages on ribbons that are then hung around campus, creating a reminder of the power of practicing gratitude in our daily lives. A big shoutout to Ben and all the students who make this project happen!
