Message from the E-newsletter Editor
Season's Greetings! 

The holiday season is upon us.  First it's Thanksgiving.  Then comes the end-of-semester activities: Group projects, final presentations, and exams.  After your schoolwork is completed, priority shifts to the holiday festivities: Family gatherings, food, shopping, and thinking about those less fortunate.  This time of year also reminds us to do something special for those in need, which brings me to a special memory from three years ago...
Jessica Knapik
From the Walsh family to yours, have a happy and safe holiday season!

Sincerely,

Jessica Knapik, MSM '04
Database Analyst, Records & Registration
