Happy Thanksgiving From Salus University!




Dear fellow alumni and friends,

As we approach Thanksgiving we pause to count our blessings for the freedom of this great country in which we live and for all of those opportunities that come from that freedom to achieve great things. Traditionally, individuals come together to celebrate this most American holiday with family and friends to recount the joys and blessings of the past year. I hope you use this week’s holiday to take stock of the good fortune we have known and the kindnesses we have shared; grateful for the bounty that enriches our lives every day. This year, in particular with all that’s happening around the world and also in our own country, we have much to reflect on but also much to be thankful.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our extremely gifted and dedicated faculty and staff for all you have done for our students and our institution this year. You’ve accomplished much, often without much fanfare but with great impact on our mission. This was quite evident at this year’s Salus Awards Gala that was held last Thursday evening where many of you were recognized by our student body for the exceptional work you do every day. Thanks to our student council for organizing this important and fun event!

I would also like to thank our students for trusting and selecting Salus as your choice to pursue your given professions and for your continued support as we work to provide you with the finest professional education available. Everyone at Salus realizes you’re the reason we’re here and we are extremely thankful.

As many of our neighbors and friends pause to lend a hand to those in need, we are also reminded of the indelible spirit of compassion and mutual responsibility that has distinguished Americans since our earliest days. This spirit is alive and well here at Salus every day - whether it is by taking care of those underserved in our on campus facilities - The Eye Institute, the Pennsylvania Ear Institute or the Speech-Language Institute – or caring for children in schools through our Looking Out for Kids initiative or providing care for patients in the various clinical settings we support, the University’s faculty, staff and students are living the Thanksgiving spirit every day, and I sincerely thank and admire you for that.

As we prepare for this week’s holiday, I want to thank you for what you do every day to make us a very special place to learn, work and support our community.

Tanis and I wish you all a very safe and restful Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

Best,

Mike
