Bountiful blessings

What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving? We asked students, faculty and alumni on Marquette's Facebook page, and here are some of our favorite responses.

"I am thankful for the family and friends and to have work in this crazy economy." — Ross M. Miller

"Being fortunate to get into the DPT program and knowing that I'll be able to help my family and many other people once I finish. It really is a great program and wouldn't want to go anywhere else." —  Debz Franco

"Having spent four years of my life at MU!" — Mike Cruz

 "BUZZ." — Andrew Altepeter

"Twitter, Netflix, snail mail, and my student employment experience at Marquette! I learned so many valuable skills that helped me get where I am today. Each day just keeps getting better." — Lauren Lakomek

"Family!!! More so, the opportunity our daughter [has] studying at Marquette, even though she is so far away from home. She is where she needs to be." — Shelly Hernandez

"God's grace and mercy." — Pandora Jones

"The sunshine and crisp, autumn air!" — Jeff LaBelle

"My husband whom I met on campus 7 years ago :-)" — Stephanie Walton

"So thankful for the Lord, my husband, close friends, relatives, and grace-filled memories of super people who passed away recently." — Shirley Nuhn

"We're thankful that you asked us to be apart of the Marquette community and that the community has welcomed us with such wide open arms. I'm going to cry now." — Melanie Sobelman 

"For the wonderful times I had there, for the wonderful people I have met, and the beautiful wild, wide world." — Ruby Raheem

"For my family, for being able to wake up warm and safe and have a job to go do. For life's simple joys. For God's constant love — but I already said that part." — Bob Slobig

"Thankful is a large concept. I walk with Marquette in a life dedicated to excellence, discipline to achieve goals, and a living sense of God in all things. What I learned in the 60s served me well in 44 years of television newsrooms played out locally, nationally, and internationally. I learned to learn, accept and stand up." — Michael Sullivan

"Every day..." — Brian Moran

I am grateful for Marquette. As a parent of a freshman, it is wonderful to see him thriving. The overall experience seems to be great for him. We are thankful for all, from the room mate, RA, new and old friends, on campus employment, coursework, to other opportunities, and security.

I am thankful for many things in my life especially my husband, my children and my friends. I am also so grateful that my son Marco, a freshman at Marquette and who is far from home, has adjusted so well to college life, the Marquette experience and that the environment he is in has continued to nurture and bring out in him the intelligent, kind, generous and loving person that he is. Thank you to his new Marquette family for making him feel so comfortable at his home away from home
