Archives for April 2024

Hello students! Many of you received an email from me yesterday asking you to write thank-you letters for donors by May 12. Someone kindly pointed out that their email was marked as possibly phishing. It was indeed a legitimate email, and we will look into why it was flagged. In the meantime, please complete those thank-you letters when you have a chance. If you did not receive a request to write a thank-you letter, do not worry—there will be opportunities for you to thank a donor in the future.
