Look for the International Education Week themed postcards at this month’s First Friday Notes!

Well-Being at Bates sponsors First Friday Notes each month, allowing members of the campus community to write a note of gratitude to anyone, on or off campus and have it mailed for them. It’s long been known that practicing gratitude is more valuable than a postcard and stamp. Gratitude promotes connection in both a social and relational way, and studies show that people who practice gratitude are more likely to feel more fulfilled and positive in life.
