  • Update: Giving Close to Home

    Dear Colleague:

    As we complete our 8th annual UConn Faculty and Staff Close to Home Campaign, we’re happy to report 2,205 current faculty and staff donors have already invested in the bright futures of our current and future students this year. Will you join us?

    As you know, spring at UConn is a time of celebration, enriched with many proud traditions. This year, because we’ve seen success on so many levels, it’s clear that we are a winning University. In the Class of 2014, nearly 5,000 new alumni have celebrated the momentous milestone of graduation. Feel pride knowing you helped them along the way.

    Today, we are writing to ask you to participate in the Close to Home Campaign by the end of the fiscal year, June 30th. Whether you choose to support the “UConn Faculty & Staff Close to Home Campaign Scholarship for Students” or another area of the University, your participation is appreciated and your gift makes a difference. For more information, please visit, www.closetohome.foundation.uconn.edu

    Thank you for all you already give to UConn through your work. Enjoy your summer!

    Sincerely,


    Jennifer Person ’92            Thomas Lawrence Long
    Payroll Director                  Associate Professor-in-Residence, Nursing           

    P.S. If you’ve already made a contribution to the University this year, thank you. If you have not yet made a gift, please take this opportunity to help our students today!
