Campaign for UW-Eau Claire
progresses
Progress is on target for "Fulfilling
the Promise of Excellence," UW-Eau Claire's first comprehensive
fund-raising campaign to secure $35 million for the university's
people and programs. The campaign is a great opportunity for
all alumni and friends to make a difference — to ensure
bright futures — as UW-Eau Claire prepares to continue
and improve upon its tradition of excellence in learning and
service. Donors are encouraged to consider making a five-year
pledge, which makes it feasible to consider a larger commitment
by spreading it out over several years. (A five-year pledge
can be made any time during the campaign and be counted in campaign
totals.) All contributions received through June 30, 2005, will
be recognized as gifts to the campaign. If you are interested
in making a contribution to support UW-Eau Claire's tradition
of excellence, please contact Kimera Way, UW-Eau Claire's executive
director of development, at waykk@uwec.edu.
