2006-2007 Faculty/Staff Campaign Going on Now!
October 2, 2006 marks the beginning of the 2006-2007 Faculty/Staff Campaign. Our goals this year are to achieve a 100 percent participation rate and to raise $100,000. Our theme is “Success Starts at Home.”
On behalf of our students, you are encouraged to give a gift to this year’s campaign. Your support matters, and every dollar counts. You can specify that your gift be used to fund a scholarship of your choice, to support faculty and staff development, or to help ensure that UMUC’s academic programs remain state-of-the-art.
For this year’s campaign, each of you will be assigned to a team; your team captain will distribute a participant’s package to each team member in the coming week. Watch for it! For more details about this year’s campaign and its objectives, visit http://www.umuc.edu/develop/facultystaff. Watch for updates, too, as the campaign progresses. Prizes will be awarded to this year’s top teams. And don’t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of the campaign mascot, Ernie the Dragon!
Together, we can reach our goals. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Remember, “Success Starts at Home.”
