The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station and MSU Extension contribute to the economic opportunity and quality of life of the people of Michigan as a result of your many efforts. Your work has contributed to our extensive history of innovation and engagement that is reflected in the reputation we enjoy among fellow institutions and industries. It also serves as a solid foundation for our future.
Your financial support of MSU makes an important statement. Your commitment demonstrates confidence in the work we do and confidence that our work makes a difference in the lives of students, our community and the world.
Gifts from faculty, staff and retirees directly affect the everyday lives of students and are critical to the success of our programs. Last year, we raised $1,233,763 in gifts and pledges from 604 members of the faculty, staff and retirees of the CANR, MSUE and MAES. I thank you for your commitment and trust. Our cutting-edge research, strong academic programs, international reach and Extension that touches the lives of people across the state and around the world would be impossible without your support.
Your support is needed now more than ever. Please, let me personally invite you to participate in the 2008 All University campaign. Your gift to an expendable fund for the CANR, MSUE or MAES, or a gift to one of our endowments, scholarships or building funds helps ensure our future success.
As you consider your benevolent commitments this year, please include a gift in support in the areas of the CANR, MSUE and MAES that are meaningful to you and your family. Your contributions to our programs, through payroll deduction, cash gifts or planned giving, are greatly appreciated. Your support will play an integral part in making the CANR's vision a reality.
If you have any questions about giving to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, MSUE or MAES, please call our External Relations Office at 517-355-0284. Sue Woodard and Jackson Kaguri are ready to answer your questions and to help in fulfilling your personal philanthropic goals.
Thank you for taking time to consider your gift to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey D. Armstrong, Dean
