From the President
Posted: Wednesday, May 8, 2019Thank You for Supporting the Faculty and Staff Appeal
As the 2019 Faculty and Staff Appeal wraps up, I want to share the wonderful news that we’ve reached more than 90 percent of our $170,000 goal.
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the many worthwhile scholarships and funds supported by the appeal. I’d also like to thank the members of the 2019 Appeal Committee—Kelly Boos, Curtis Brickhouse, Carolyn Fusco, Maryruth Glogowski, Tamara Horstman-Riphahn, Megan Keogh, Thomas Koller, Lisa Krieger, Margaret Letzelter, Melissa Slisz, Lauren Turner, and Amitra Wall—for their hard work.
If you have yet to make a commitment, you still have until Friday, May 17, to do so. As you may know, many of our students are coming to campus with more financial challenges, more personal hardships, and greater responsibilities than they have in the past. This makes the Faculty and Staff Appeal especially crucial, so please consider making a one-time gift or payroll deduction.
The almost 800 funds cover everything from academic scholarships to emergency funds, including our new Back on Track fund. There are a variety of funds you may choose to support. The full list (PDF, 289 KB) is available on the Giving website. Every dollar given to the appeal makes a Buffalo State degree more attainable and our campus more welcoming.
Please drop off your contribution forms in the Institutional Advancement Office, Cleveland 304, ideally by May 17. But gifts will be accepted beyond the deadline. For more information, please contact appeal coordinator Claire Collier, 878-5206.
