Notes of thanks
Dear Dr. Percy,
I would like to take the time to thank you and your wonderful team for all the time and effort put into organizing the business luncheon this past Saturday.
It is true that this event's goal is to recognize excellence amongst students, and to thank generous donors; however, it is also an opportunity for students, friends, relatives, and faculty staff to network and socialize. Once again, the Alberta School of Business has demonstrated its true appreciation for its students and the community, and in return, students feel a sense of pride, and belonging with regards to the University of Alberta's BCom program.
Many thanks,
Stephane Erickson
Student- Alberta School of Business
