Faculty and Staff Encouraged to Participate in Annual Campaign

VALDOSTA—Valdosta State University kicked off the 2014 Faculty and Staff Campaign Oct. 14. This year’s theme is “Strength from Within” and represents the fortitude and resilient spirit of the university’s faculty and staff.

“Tuition and state appropriations do not cover all the costs associated with educating our students,” said Karen Johnson, director of annual giving. “When foundations and corporations consider their philanthropic intent, they often ask how much support comes from our alumni, faculty and staff before making their decision.”

All VSU full-time employees will receive a packet of information that outlines how they can direct their financial gift to the college, department or program of their choice through a variety of payment options, including payroll deduction. Employees may also visit the campaign’s website at:  http://www.valdosta.edu/fscampaign
