Kent State University’s goal for the 2013 United Way Campaign is to triple the number of faculty and staff giving. Last year, our contribution percentage was only 15 percent. Our goal this year is to triple that to 45 percent. As of the end of October, we are only at 30 percent of our goal, which translates to only 15.5 percent of our faculty and staff that have given to support the United Way. In an effort to make our goal, I am extending the deadline to donate to Nov. 21, 2012, which is the day before Thanksgiving. I hope that those of you who have not given will take a moment to be thankful for what you have and give a little to the United Way.
While we are a long way from our goal, we do have some colleges and departments on campus that have already accomplished their goals, and I would like to thank them.
