Maria Garrity, ’86, a systems programmer and departmental coordinator for Computing and Technology Services, remembers the days when she dropped her son off at daycare. “That’s why I support the Child Care Center through the Faculty and Staff Appeal,” she said. “That’s where kids begin, and the kids and their moms need the assistance.”
In the fall, her son will start college. “As a single mom who works full time,” said Maria, “I know firsthand how difficult it is to makes ends meet. In these economic times, it is a struggle for our youth. I can empathize with their many hardships by my own life experiences.” Maria gives to the Ron Brown ITEC Scholarship Fund, and the Alumni Fund.
Maria chooses to support funds that are close to her heart, but there is another reason for her generosity. “If it wasn’t for the students,” she said, “we wouldn’t be here. They are doing their part and working hard. It’s up to us to help them out.”
Join Maria. Support our students and choose a fund for your gift. For additional information about giving to the Faculty and Staff Appeal, please contact Louis Noce.
