Gratitude: Part 5

 


The simple act of expressing gratitude has the power to uplift ourselves and others. Gratitude provides perspective and can help us find acceptance in difficult situations. The practice of gratitude has the potential to bring peace in the present and inspire us to be our best selves for the future.


We asked the SLCC community to take a moment for reflection to answer the question, “What are you grateful for and why?” In a series of posts this month we hope answers from students and staff will bring peace and positivity into your day.

Sabah Joseph: "I am grateful to be here in America. The biggest blessing that I am grateful for is education. I value education a lot as this is not something that you can get easily in other countries especially for girls. I am blessed and grateful for my work and the people I work with, because they support and provide guidance. Lastly I am grateful for my Parents who is always with me in every walk of life."

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.
