Paper 6.http://opus.govst.edu/president_goodman-malamuth/6INSCAPES Message from the President None of us approaches Thanksgiving, 1981 naively. We are troubled by the nation's economy, by the apparent ease with which "nuclear war" is once again accepted into our national rhetoric; by the unquestioned economic difficulties facing the State of Illinois and, therefore, our University. We are not without resources, however, at Governors State University. We have faced challenges in the past and have been found responsible. In some ways (e.g. highest enrollment in our history, comprehensively situated to serve the site-bound student, streamlined and re­organized staff, smoothly functioning planning process), we are now prepared to face these new challenges aggressively, even with, indeed, a com­petitive edge. Therefore, though our general mood be cautious and sober, let us surrender to the justified impulse we feel to give thanks, to express gratitude for our heritage as Americans, to experience pride in our common committment as educators. Margaret and I wish each of you a Thanksgiving holiday filled with the joy of re-creation, family reunion and na­tional renewal.
