Dear most valuable adjuncts, Thank you so much for giving the GSLIS another great year of teaching. We really couldn't run this show without each and everyone of you and I hope you realize how much appreciated you are! I will be hosting another Adjunct Appreciation Luncheon, at the end of summer before we kick off our next wonderful academic year. Stay tuned for details on that. Have a great summer, and as they sing, "see you in September."
