No
gift is too small
A donation of $10 may not seem like much, but if all 2,500 faculty
and staff at AU made a $10 gift it would buy 400 new books for the
library. You’ll soon see posters around campus announcing the
second Annual Faculty-Staff Campaign.
“We want to stress that participation [in the faculty-staff
campaign] at any level is important,” said Tracey Vranich,
senior development director. “When we talk to alumni and corporations
we’d like to say that among the community of people who work
and spend time here there is a high rate of participation.”
Contributions to the Faculty-Staff Campaign will count towards the
$200 million Capital Campaign goal outlined in point one of President
Benjamin Ladner’s 15-point plan. A letter about the Faculty-Staff
Campaign will go out this week to all those who have not made gifts
this fiscal year, and a flash e-mail similar to last year will go
out in January. Contributions can be made through on-line payroll
deduction and can be directed to specific campus funds.
The members of the Faculty-Staff Campaign committee are pictured
above: From left, Martin Blackman, head men’s tennis coach;
Jack Child, language and foreign studies professor; Violeta Ettle,
assistant provost; Lisa Arakaki, assistant director of special events;
Gary Wright, assistant vice president of campus life; Dick Bennet,
associate dean of SPA, chair; Wendell Cochran, journalism professor;
Ivy Broder, dean of academic affairs; Julie Weber, executive director
of housing and dining. Doug Kudravetz, assistant vice president
of finance, is not pictured.
No matter what the dollar amount, contributors will receive a stainless
steel AU mug. —EDJ
