Letters of Gratitude to Dr. Q

Attention Business School Alumni from 1972 to 2013:
Over his 40 years of service, Dr. Quiester Craig found his gift and he gave it to his students. You can now pen a letter expressing your gratitude for Dr. Craig. A compilation of letters from his students over his 40 years as dean of the School of Business and Economics will be published in an anthology, on the theme of gratitude. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to help document the legacy of Dr. Craig and his team in building the dynamic School of Business and Economics. Please note: Dr. Craig is aware a book is being written but he is not aware of the letters. Let’s keep it that way. Visit www.lettersofgratitudetodrq.org
