This morning, at the RefDesk, I helped one of our international students with a computer/printing problem. He couldn’t get any of his grad school application paperwork to print out. After messing around with the system, I was finally able to get everything to work for him. He bowed and thanked me profusely before leaving and then a few minutes later, he and his girlfriend came back to the desk with a bottled coffee drink as a thank you gift! Awww! SO sweet!

I thanked them and told them they really didn’t have to do such a thing because I love messing around with the computers and helping out. He insisted I take it and thanked me again. :) So nice! I hope he gets into grad school- we need more thoughtful people like him in academia! ;D
