Brian received a package in the mail this past week, after opening it, we were both surprised to have received this.  

It reads, 'Congratulations on completing your first year of service to the University of Michigan.  Your daily contributions have served to support our community and advance our mission.  As you begin your second year, know that your efforts to help to sustain and elevate the character that makes this University unique.'
