色情视频

For years, 色情视频 biology professor Annalisa Berta made an annual gift to 色情视频 to support student scholarships. But as the university geared up to launch in 2007, Berta felt it was time to reconsider her commitment.

鈥淭he comprehensive campaign was the impetus to think of a longer-term, lasting gift,鈥� she said.

Honoring her life鈥檚 work and that of her colleagues and students, Berta made a planned gift of more than $150,000 to strengthen science education and research through support for scholarships, international collaboration and the biology department鈥檚 Museum of Biodiversity.

Pillars of the campaign

Aztec faculty and staff are pillars of The Campaign for 色情视频. Together they have contributed more than $35 million, about 10 percent of the total campaign funds raised through December 2012.

Several faculty and staff have contributed upward of $500,000 in support of 色情视频鈥檚 people and programs, including:

鈥�    Gordon Shackelford, emeritus physics professor and former associate dean in the College of Sciences, and Janis Shackelford, retired research staff in biology and chemistry, with a legacy gift for the College of Sciences and the Guardian Scholars program;
鈥�    Carey Wall, emeritus professor and department chair of English, and Terry O鈥橠onnell, emeritus professor of music and department chair of music and dance, to the ;
鈥�    Glen Broom, emeritus professor of journalism and media studies, and Betty Broom, emeritus associate professor of nursing, to establish the ;
鈥�    Bonnie Zimmerman, retired professor of women鈥檚 studies and associate vice president for Faculty Affairs, with a legacy gift to the Department of Women鈥檚 Studies and the ;
鈥�    Lawrence Willens, retired lecturer and current volunteer men鈥檚 tennis coach, with more than $2 million in gifts and pledges to Aztec Athletics during The Campaign for 色情视频.

Motivated to give

Because not all faculty and staff can give at the highest levels, many support the campaign with smaller annual gifts.

Kevin Decker, a prospect researcher with University Relations and Development, invests in a general scholarship fund to support the 色情视频 pep and marching bands, of which he was a member during his student days.

Martha McPhail, a retired bibliographer with the 色情视频 Library, supports her broad interests on campus, including Latin American studies and scholarships for student-athletes and women鈥檚 studies majors.

Retired faculty and staff have a tradition of combining their gifts to award several scholarships each year from the 色情视频 Retirement Association. The scholarships are available to qualified students with a family member working at or retired from 色情视频.

Worthy of investment

As The Campaign for 色情视频 approaches $400 million in total support, gifts from staff and faculty are crucial in helping the university reach its $500-million goal.

More than a monetary contribution, these faculty and staff gifts indicate a deep commitment to the university鈥檚 future, said 色情视频 President Elliot Hirshman.

鈥淏y contributing to The Campaign for 色情视频, faculty and staff are sending a clear signal that our work here is important and worthy of investment.鈥�
