2010 All U Campaign builds momentum

Where did more student scholarships, expanded opportunities and well over a half million dollars to assist MSU endeavors come from? These are outcomes from the financial support MSU received from its own in the 2010 All University Campaign.

Faculty, staff and retiree giving during the campaign has been on an upward trajectory for years. Since 2003, giving has grown from approximately $216,000 to nearly $589,000, an increase of 74 percent.In addition, more than 200 of MSU’s leaders in the faculty, staff and administrative ranks chose to give back their salary increases to support student scholarships this past year, giving $214,000.

“MSU benefits from the support of faculty, staff and retirees not only from their direct altruism but also from the confidence their gifts instill in others,” said Bob Groves, vice president for University Advancement.

“Gifts from the people who know MSU so well lead the way for others to invest and we are grateful for the inspiring leadership of MSU’s faculty, staff and retirees.”
