03.17.05 FACULTY AND STAFF CAMPAIGN HITTING ITS STRIDE
Participation is the watchword for UVM's Faculty and Staff Campaign, ongoing throughout the 2004-2005 academic year under the banner of The Campaign for the University of Vermont. It's not the dollar amount raised but the number of faculty and staff donors that will measure the success of this phase of the university's largest-ever fundraising effort.
A Faculty and Staff Campaign Committee was formed early in the year to guide and promote the Campaign, taking as its theme "Giving Back to Our Community." The Campaign has undertaken a number of initiatives in that spirit to keep its goals and priorities before the faculty and staff community. In the fall, passers-by on the University Green were treated to free Ben and Jerry's Peace Pops, and one frigid January morning, faculty and staff enjoyed a free hot cup of coffee, courtesy of Sodexho food service, served up in a travel mug bearing the campaign logo. Every faculty and staff member also received printed and email invitations to participate in the Campaign, the latter with a link to an online Faculty and Staff Campaign video. Another promotion is planned in conjunction with this spring's annual Sugar-on-Snow Party on the portico of the Bailey/Howe Library (hosted by the Maple History Committee of the Vermont Maple Industry Council).
As of mid-March, 456 faculty and staff members had contributed to the Faculty and Staff Campaign, which wraps up on June 30 of this year.
