It's Commuter Appreciation Week at [Fitchburg State University](http://www.fitchburgstate.edu/), and let me tell you, I am certainly feeling appreciated!

Becky Lindley and her amazing [Commuter Affairs](http://www.fitchburgstate.edu/campus-life/things-you-should-know/commuter-affairs/) staff have a week of events that are sure to make any commuter student feel welcome and appreciated. So find out what it's like to be a commuter here, and see how much the university truly values us! 

[![Commuter Appreciation Week](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/file-1442298434-jpg/blog-files/1383126_10201891086622487_1756556637_n.jpg?width=350&height=120&name=1383126_10201891086622487_1756556637_n.jpg "Commuter Appreciation Week")](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/file-1442298434-jpg/blog-files/1383126_10201891086622487_1756556637_n.jpg)

 There is free food almost every day, and all sorts of fun activities to go with it! It all started at 7:30 this morning with Breakfast with the President! 

[![Commuter Appreciation Breakfast](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/file-1442298449-jpg/blog-files/photo-2.jpg?width=350&height=230&name=photo-2.jpg "Commuter Appreciation Breakfast")](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/file-1442298449-jpg/blog-files/photo-2.jpg)

What better way to start a Monday morning than with a group of good friends eating some delicious food? It was such a nice time that I even forgot it was a Monday!! And of course, it would not be Breakfast with the President without an appearance from President Antonucci!

[![President Antonucci](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/file-1447341485-jpg/blog-files/photo-1.jpg?width=350&height=470&name=photo-1.jpg "President Antonucci")](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/file-1447341485-jpg/blog-files/photo-1.jpg)

In just a few minutes, the second event of today will start! They are bringing the Dogfather truck to campus to serve up some hot food! I cannot wait! There is also a week ahead of healthy breakfasts, custom license plates, and other fun activities!

At some schools, you might feel left out if you're a commuter, but not here. [Fitchburg State](http://www.fitchburgstate.edu/) cares about us and treats us right!
