Celebrating Educator Appreciation Week

Join us to thank and recognize our education alumni across the globe for their continued educational efforts during this pandemic. As an alumni community, we want to take the opportunity to recognize and thank our educational heroes via a week-long celebration from June 15 – June 19. We know our educators are working tirelessly to ensure the experience for their students has not been impacted due to the transition to online learning. Help us thank all our educators whether that is a teacher, a professor, a mentor, a counselor, a parent/guardian – this week is to acknowledge those who inspire us and their students. We look forward to your participation during this dedicated week; let us show our appreciation and come together with a unified effort.
