Set up a table in an area that students frequent. Stock the table with some cheap thank-you notes and a few pens. Hang a small poster from the table with an invitation to \u201cThank a Prof.\u201d<\/p><p><span>As students stop by, ask them to think of a former (not current) professor and simply write them a brief note of gratitude, and even better if they can name something specific the prof did that helped them. They are not to seal the envelope, but to write the professor\u2019s name and department on the envelope. You check the notes to make sure they are legitimate expressions of gratitude.<\/span><br><\/p><p>&nbsp;<span>Then you email the professor and arrange personally to deliver the hand-written thank-you notes. If you have a lot of notes, you can enlist your Christian Faculty colleagues to help. Also, students involved with Cru or another Christian organization can help with the deliveries too. Most faculty are thrilled to be thanked because it\u2019s a fairly rare occurrence. I have kept a file of every written thank-you over my career.&nbsp; It isn\u2019t that thick.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span>As you deliver the thank you notes, you can commend them and say something like, \u201cThe Thank-a-prof\u201d table was sponsored by the Christian faculty at our campus.
