The social committee hope you continue to participate in 'Drops of Gratitude' to show appreciation for students, staff, faculty, and other employees in SNR to "fill their buckets".
Around Hardin, you will find small buckets with blank drops of Gratitude that you will fill out with:
1. The name of the person
2. Why you appreciate them (feel free to put down any reason either personal or professional)
The buckets are located:
1. Desk of the Maps and More Store (1st floor)
2. Hallway on the 2nd floor between the North and South wings, outside of the Graduate Student offices
3. 9th floor by 901 and the elevators
The drops will be collected on the last working day of each month. Once gathered, an email will be sent out to everyone in SNR recognizing these people and that a drop has been left for them. The drops will be pinned to the board outside of my office, 911 South Hardin Hall, where they can be picked up.
