Arizona Campus faculty and staff celebrated a solid start to the 2010 Employee Investment Campaign on October 30 with a barbecue lunch, having so far raised more than $30,000 – a total that does not yet include gifts from campus leadership.

In a change from previous years, the 2010 campaign is totaling gifts from faculty, staff, and program chairs up to October 30. Then, campus leadership, including directors, deans and provosts, are being challenged to make their gifts to either match or exceed the challenge amount.

All campus faculty and staff can continue to make gifts until the end of November. Contact Institutional Advancement for more details, or visit http://www.atsu.edu/facultystaff.
