FACULTY AND STAFF CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF THIS WEEK Beginning today, May 3, faculty and staff can contribute once again to the University of Houston through its “Leading the Way” campaign.
Auchmuty added that faculty members may ask their colleges’ development officers about special college needs and projects. Shortt noted that the campaign also will provide an opportunity for the UH community to make donations for staff scholarships. She hopes contributions to the Staff Council’s scholarship program will enable the organization to establish an endowment. Currently, Staff Council offers 10 $500 scholarships to staff members enrolled in UH classes through its base funding. When the endowment is fully funded, Staff Council will be able to increase the amount and number of scholarships it awards annually, Shortt added. Participation is the key to the campaign’s success, said Amy Leggio, director of annual giving. All faculty and staff should receive campaign brochures by May 5, she said. Gifts also may be made via credit card online at the campaign’s Web site http://www.advancement.uh.edu/uhgivesback/give.html. Various giving options for each college also are featured on the Web site. For more information on the campaign, call the Office
