The WSU School of Medicine will kick off its annual Faculty and Staff Campaign at a reception Thursday, Sept. 30, in the Scott Hall Cafeteria. Tom Wilson, president of Palace Sports & Entertainment, will speak.

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.
