Posted: Thursday, October 2, 20082008 SEFA/United Way Campaign Launched with 90 Campus Supporters in Attendance
From the Vice President for Student Affairs
Thank you for your overwhelming support at the 2008 SEFA/United Way Campaign Kickoff. Approximately 60 solicitors, including faculty, staff, and students, spent their lunch hour at the kickoff, held in the Campbell Student Union on Monday, September 29. I welcomed Buffalo State students, faculty, staff, and guests in officially kicking off the campaign. Paulette Crooke, regional president for upstate retail banking for HSBC Bank USA, N.A., and 2008 United Way Campaign chair, brought greetings from the United Way. Dave Wilson, regional SEFA director, provided the volunteer training at 9:30 a.m.
Campus support for this initiative was also evident at the other kickoff scheduled during our third shift, where 30 members of the Buffalo State family attended in the Classroom Building on Friday, October 26, at 6:30 a.m. We were especially pleased that Stephanie Barber, senior vice president of the United Way, was available to address the third-shift staff.
Our goal this year is to continue the Buffalo State College tradition of giving with 100 pecent participation of all departments. I look forward to surpassing our goal and seeing all of you at our closing ceremony.
Thank you again.
Vice President Hal Payne, 2008 SEFA/United Way Campaign Chair
