November is the National Month of Gratitude—encouraging all of us to embrace the power of kindness and giving thanks. To help the UHart community recognize our colleagues and students, we have recreated the Random Acts of UHart campaign. This initiative challenges the campus community to “pass the kindness” by giving and receiving notes of gratitude.
Community members will be able to pick up sets of two Kindness Cards at a UHart Kindness Hub, write words of encouragement and acknowledgment to another member of the UHart community (any student, faculty, or staff) on one card, then “Pass the Kindness” by giving both cards—the one that they wrote and a blank one—to their intended recipient. Then the recipient has a Kindness Card that they can in turn complete for someone else and Pass the Kindness too!
Our goal is to spread kindness through at least 1,877 Random Acts of UHart throughout the month of November.
A special thank you to Karen Schermerhorn for inspiring this initiative.
