NYU Shanghai celebrates Thanksgiving week

For Stephanie Anderson, of Atlanta, Georgia, it was just her second day back on campus after almost eleven months away from Shanghai. "For me, even though today is Thanksgiving and I'm away from my family, I don't feel sad and I don't feel lonely," she said. "I'm finally back with this family, and I'm so grateful to everyone that helped me get back here."

The university's Student Government committee has also spearheaded a gratitude program to show thankfulness to the service workers at NYU Shanghai by writing thank-you notes.
