\u2018Twas the night before Christmas and all across campus, not a student was running to lecture or practice.<\/p>\n

Down by the lake the water was still, the ducks nestled snugly against the brisk chill.<\/p>\n

The library was quiet, the computer screens blank \u2013 it\u2019s time to relax, but before that, some thanks!<\/p>\n

To alumni and friends who donated this year, whether time or your pennies, our gratitude\u2019s clear.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve supported our scholarships, mentored our students, you\u2019ve funded the research that\u2019s driving new movements.<\/p>\n

From faraway countries to cities so near, your support warmed our spirits and filled us with cheer.<\/p>\n

So as this year ends, we raise a glass to toast: here\u2019s to our Bath community, whom we cherish the most.<\/p>\n

With best wishes from all of us in the Advancement Office team.<\/em><\/p>\n
