Practice Gratitude, Strengthen Well-Being

November 2-13 | Gratitude Challenge

Gratitude is more than saying "thank you." It's a practice that can improve well-being, strengthen relationships, and help us focus on the positive aspects of our daily lives. This November, all University of Denver employees are invited to participate in a two-week Gratitude Challenge designed to encourage simple acts of appreciation and reflection.

Throughout the challenge, participants will complete daily activities such as expressing thanks to a colleague, recognizing someone who works behind the scenes, reflecting on positive moments, spending time outdoors, or celebrating a team accomplishment. Each activity offers an opportunity to build connection, resilience, and a greater sense of belonging within our DU community.

Participants who complete challenge activities will be eligible for prize drawings throughout the two-week event.
