For colleges and community colleges
Thanksgiving falls right before finals and the end of term. A thank-you with your college's name on it reaches students, staff and the employers who hire your graduates. These Thanksgiving ecards for colleges are short animated cards with your logo, colors and words, sent by email, and you see the finished card before you pay.
No account until you pay. The president's office approves it by link. One price for your whole list.

Made for a college
Type your college's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then every line of text is yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from the president, a dean or the whole college.
The result is a college Thanksgiving ecard that plays like a short film, with your logo, your colors, your words and music, full screen on a phone. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your students is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. Press Make this yours and the studio opens the demo, ready for your own logo, colors and words.
Type your college's website and the card takes your colors and finds your logo.
A watermarked approval link the president's office watches on a phone, with no account and nothing to download.
Every word is yours: one card for students, another for faculty, staff or employer partners.
Send it yourself from your own email platform, and your lists never leave your system.
Your website, your holiday campus hours or next term, shown when the card finishes.
The card's page shows how many people actually watched it, and sets no cookies on your students.

The best college Thanksgiving message names its audience and thanks them for something real: students for their work this term, staff for carrying the campus, partners for hiring your graduates. Keep it to two or three sentences and end with a wish for a restful break. Start from one of these and change any word.
"Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at [college name]. We are grateful for our students and our community."
"To our students: thank you for your hard work this term. Rest up, enjoy the break, and good luck on finals."
"Thank you for being part of [college name] this year. Enjoy a restful Thanksgiving."
"Thank you for everything you do for our students. We are grateful for you. Happy Thanksgiving."
"To our employer partners: thank you for opening doors for our students. Happy Thanksgiving."
"Wherever you are this Thanksgiving, you are part of the [college name] family. Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving."

A printed card reaches a few trustees and partners. A college Thanksgiving ecard reaches every student, faculty member and employer partner on the list, at one price.
A card holds one message, so many colleges make two: a Thanksgiving message to students, and another to faculty, staff and employer partners. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.
Thanksgiving comes at the hardest stretch of the term, just before finals. A thank-you then lands when students and staff need it most, and before the December break scatters everyone. It carries no faith, only gratitude, so it suits every student on the list. Many colleges send a Thanksgiving thank-you now and a holiday card in December; see the holiday designs.
A card from the college usually needs a yes from the president's office, marketing and communications, or whoever looks after the college's brand. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so anyone who signs off can watch it on a phone.
When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until you say yes.
There are two ways to send, at the same price.
Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on your students and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
US Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Send it the week before, Monday to Wednesday, while students and staff are still on campus and before the break begins. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.
Closing for the holiday? Add your campus hours for the break as one of the card's ending links, so students and staff know when offices reopen.
