We'd like to give thanks for...

Because Thanksgiving is almost upon us, we thought we'd ask what you were most thankful for right now. And since Thanksgiving is about family and friends, it's probably no surprise that most of you were thankful for your friends and families. But there were other blessings to count, just being alive among them. However, lest we forget, Thanksgiving is an American holiday and Penn is an international university.
