A Mount Saint Mary College student surprises an appreciative professor with a hand-delivered bouquet.
The Mount Saint Mary College chapter of Kappa Delta Pi (KDP), the international honor society in education, recently spread some post-Valentine’s Day cheer across campus with its inaugural professor appreciation flower sale.
The student-led initiative encouraged the Mount community to purchase bouquets for the faculty members who have most impacted their academic journeys. The event sold dozens of flowers and raised more than $200 to fund future educational and community-based student events on campus.
Delaney Morrison, Public Relations Officer for KDP, noted that the mission was rooted in gratitude.
“KDP is always looking for a way to show appreciation to our professors,” Morrison said, adding “The professors absolutely loved the bouquets.”
The Mount’s KDP is dedicated to service-learning in the local community. It promotes excellence in, and recognizes outstanding contributions to, the field of education. The society endeavors to maintain a high degree of professional fellowship among its members, quicken professional growth, and honor achievement in educational work.
