Today is the deadline to contribute to the 2004 Faculty and Staff Campaign. Thus far, faculty and staff have donated more than $3.3 million, including gifts, pledges and planned gifts. The School's goal is to have full participation of its faculty and staff, so please consider making a gift to the campaign. Every gift, large and modest, is vital.

This year's campaign will be used primarily to raise funds for a $25 million Education Commons, which will be built as an addition to Shiffman Medical Library and attached to Scott Hall via a skywalk. The project will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including rooms for simulating patient examinations and surgery; laboratory space; a technology-assisted learning and conferencing auditorium; a bookstore; and 24-hour study areas.

WSU School of Medicine employees may also choose to designate their contributions for a particular program or area of interest.

Campaign pledge forms will be distributed by your department's campaign coordinator or contact Lori Herman in the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs at (313) 577-1474.
