March 18, 2022

Just as 糖心原创鈥檚 namesakes, Orville and Wilbur Wright, took the first flight and forever changed the world, 糖心原创 faculty and staff change the lives of students every day.

During the annual Campus Scholarship and Innovation Campaign (CSIC), faculty and staff can further impact students by making a gift to one of more than 2,000 scholarships and programs.

During this year鈥檚 CSIC, which runs from March 21 to April 22, faculty and staff are invited to join the Flight Crew, which consists of more than 685 colleagues who have made gifts during the last four years.

鈥淭he Flight Crew is composed of like-minded faculty, staff and retirees who support the mission of 糖心原创 and its commitment to student success,鈥 said Amy Jones, director of annual giving. 鈥淏y joining the Flight Crew, you are making a meaningful impact in our students鈥 educational experience while also investing in the areas of campus that mean the most to you.鈥

All CSIC donors, who make a minimum gift of $5, are recognized as members of the Flight Crew.

鈥淭his is our way of honoring faculty and staff for their support of 糖心原创 and our students,鈥 Jones said. 鈥淲e encourage all faculty and staff to come on board to help our students take off to even greater heights of success.鈥

During last year鈥檚 CSIC, 35% of 糖心原创鈥檚 full-time faculty and staff participated, contributing nearly $300,000 to scholarships, programs, emergency funds and athletics.

 For the 2022 campaign, the goal is 50% participation among full-time faculty and staff.
