Even in the midst of the turmoil we will forever associate with the year 2020, there are things to be thankful for. Here are a few of mine…
I am thankful that God‘s plan for me led me to Notre Dame College.
I am thankful for the many new friends and colleagues I have found here.
I am thankful for the care and love of NDC so beautifully exhibited by our faculty and staff.
I am thankful for the energy, enthusiasm and zeal for learning exhibited by our students.
I am thankful for those who serve NDC as trustees and volunteers and for those who give so generously to support and sustain our mission.
I am thankful that we are an institution that stands for something and animates our founding mission by lifting up the needs of the oppressed, the disenfranchised and the underserved.
I am thankful for the Sisters of Notre Dame who had the vision to establish this place of learning nearly 100 years ago and who stand with us still today.
Finally, Cathy and I are thankful for the many blessings of family, for great memories, and for the new lives that have joined us this year.
We hope and pray that each of you can find something to be thankful for this year as we celebrate this most unusual Thanksgiving. Please know that you are in our thoughts and we are filled with gratitude for each and every one of you.
Mike and Cathy and family
