Results of this year’s Faculty/Staff Annual Fund Campaign were announced at a recognition luncheon held March 21 in the Peabody Library, during which volunteers were applauded for their efforts.

SHSU President Dana Gibson praised the 75-member committee for their work and the university community for their dedication and support. She expressed her appreciation for reaching a 78-80 percent giving rate again this year. The university has maintained that level of giving the past six years.

“I use these results when I talk to our constituents and when I talk to the legislature. Our high participation rate is one of my ‘bragging’ items,” she said. “It speaks to the strong commitment that our faculty and staff have to Sam Houston State.”

During the active phase of the campaign, which ran from mid-October through December, a total of 1,435 donors gave or pledged over $224,000.

Jim Bexley, campaign general chairman, said SHSU reached a record number of donors to the campaign this past fall, and he commended the committee, reporting that four areas had reached 100 percent participation and an additional six areas reached over 80 percent participation.

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences was recognized with the "Top Performance Award" for their increase in donors and dollars. From left: Deanna Briones, Brenda McNeely, Brian Domitrovic, Debra Andrist, and Terry Thibodeaux.
