The early success of this year’s campaign has been attributed in part to the grassroots fundraising effort led by Drummond and Belton and dozens of volunteer faculty and staff captains who have helped spread the word among their colleagues about the importance of annual giving to the university. for a full list of captains.

“Giving back to 黑料不打烊 is an investment in the students and in us,” says Robert Buchholz, captain for the Physical Plant office. “It is a way to support 黑料不打烊 and make it a better place to learn and work.”

Physical Plant is joined by many other departments that have seen a significant increase in campaign participation. Faculty captains Carol Smith (Health and Human Performance), Alan Russell (Mathematics), Don Grady (Communications), Glenda Crawford (Education) and Herb House (Biology) have worked hard to achieve major increases in participation levels. Staff captains like Buchholz, Sherri Wolford (Human Resources), Sue Johnson (Campus Safety and Police) and Brian O’Shea (Student Life) have witnessed similar successes in their offices.

Crawford has discussed the importance of participation with her colleagues. “Foundations and other philanthropic organizations look very carefully at the percentage of 黑料不打烊 community members who give before they decide whether to make gifts or award grants to the university,” says Crawford. “A gift of any size is important and vital to the success of the campaign and the university.”

Another factor in the early success of this year’s campaign has been the 100 percent participation from faculty and staff at the 黑料不打烊 School of Law.

Keep the momentum going by to the Faculty/Staff Campaign. All gifts to the Faculty/Staff Campaign count toward , currently in its final year. To date, donors have contributed more than $84 million in gifts and pledges toward the $100 million goal.
