“We Are Truman” Faculty and Staff Campaign Goal to Raise $140K
Recently, faculty and staff received information about supporting the Truman State University Foundation through the 2012 Faculty and Staff Campaign. This year’s campaign is being chaired by Cindy Cooper (biology) and Greg Marshall (ITS). Campaign goals include $140,000 in gift support and a faculty and staff participation rate of 62 percent.
The theme of this year’s campaign is “We Are Truman” and an important objective of the campaign is to recognize the hard work and loyalty of Truman’s faculty and staff. The Faculty and Staff Campaign also seeks to educate employees on the importance of private giving and to encourage working together in these challenging times for higher education.
A key component of the Faculty and Staff Campaign is the volunteerism of 43 “area coordinators” that represent the various faculty and staff areas of campus and encourage fellow colleagues to consider investing in Truman at any level. Educating colleagues on the impact that even small gifts can make to students and even their own departments is a mission that the area coordinators take seriously. Faculty and Staff members may designate their gifts to any of the Foundation’s 575 funds or may also direct their gifts to the Truman Fund for Excellence—a fund used to support the University’s areas of greatest need. Many employees find payroll deduction to be an easy and affordable way of supporting Truman and what they’re passionate about—their own department, scholarships, an athletic team and other funds that impact the Truman Experience.
The Faculty and Staff campaign push will continue through April 6. However, all gifts from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, will be counted in the campaign totals. This year all departments or areas with a participation rate of more than 60 percent will be recognized to show appreciation and to educate students on the impact of faculty and staff giving.
There will be a drawing April 6 to give away prize packages, including the reserved parking spots for a year. Any gift to the campaign qualifies individuals for the parking spot drawing, and first-time gifts to the campaign qualify individuals for the Truman apparel package drawing.
