Faculty & Staff Giving CampaignDear colleagues, I have a passion for sports and the outdoors, so during this year’s Faculty & Staff Giving Campaign, I’m excited to make a gift to the recreation program. After all, once it’s safe, we’re all going to need to get out there and get moving! If my donation can help, for example, run an extra soccer program and give a student the opportunity to try something new and develop their own passion, I know they’ll take that experience and pay it forward in the community. It's what helped me when I was a student and allows me to give now. There are hundreds of things at WSU Vancouver that you can support. Even if you give just a little, that act of generosity can have an effect down the road. When you give to support research, the work WSU Vancouver researchers do today could save a life in the future. Maybe that person is in your community; maybe it’s your grandparent, maybe it’s you. You never know. It’s really cool that WSU Vancouver is the WSU campus with the highest participation by far during the Faculty & Staff Giving Campaign. VanCougs are the best! I love seeing those numbers. This year, I want to challenge all my colleagues to add to those numbers. Even if it’s a small amount, 10 people giving something small is the same as one person giving something big. I might not be able to change a whole lot, so I give what I can with a smile and do my best to stay positive. At the end of the day, it’s all about helping and every little bit helps. Sending positive vibes, Kevin P.S. So far, 46% of faculty and staff have participated. We still have two weeks to go to be counted. Donate here...and Go VanCougs! |
