IUPUI
IUPUI exceeded its campaign goal of $290,000 this year by an extra $7,627. Nan
Bohan, one of four chairs for the campaign, said that the campus surpassed its
goal for the first time in three years. The average gift per donor increased, as
did 56 percent of department participation. "Two of our special events, the
campus-wide Chili for Charity and the golf tournament sponsored by the
Administrative Affairs area, increased amounts raised by almost 50 percent over
last year. Overall, an exciting campaign," said Bohan.
IU East
Diane Chandler, director of human resources on the Richmond campus, reported
that the faculty and staff raised $10,916.96. "That was up slightly over
last year. We had 90 employees who participated in the campaign that began on
Oct. 1 and ended Dec. 1. The United Way organization is officially called the
United Way of Union and Wayne counties.
IU Kokomo
United Way donors on the Kokomo campus pledged $7,961 this year, according to
Deanna Crispen, co-chair and director of development for external affairs. No
goal figure was set by the campus, and participants responded to solicitation
letters sent to them in the mail. Her co-chair was Allen Anderson, assistant
dean of the Division of Public and Environmental Affairs and associate professor
of criminal justice. Crispen works in the chancellor's office.
IU Northwest
Robin Hass, chair of the United Way campaign on the Gary campus and an assistant
professor of English, reported that faculty and staff raised $10,400.
"That's on a par with the amount raised in recent years. We were pleased
with the drive and consider it a success," she said.
IU South Bend
"We raised $26,089, which was nearly identical to last year's total,"
said David Vollrath, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research
and associate professor of management on the South Bend campus. His co chair was
Gwynn Mettetal, associate professor of education psychology and director of the
Office of Academic Affairs. The campaign included a kick-off breakfast for
campus coordinators on Oct. 15. The IUSB goal was 70 percent participation.
IU Southeast
"Encouragers" on the Southeast campus did their job so well that there
was an 18 percent increase in participation for a total of $20,334.82. Bev
Biggs, who's an administrator for the campaign, said participation was very
vigorous. On the day when pledge cards were handed out, there was a cookout
funded by the chancellor. A popular feature of the drive was a baby contest.
Baby photos of the "encouragers" were available, and participants had
the opportunity to guess who they were.
IPFW
Faculty and staff on the IPFW campus boosted their dollar figure of pledges to
$24,835. Jeanette Clausen, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, and
Frank Borelli, vice chancellor for student affairs, were co-chairs. Donors were
given the opportunity to answer a quiz about United Way. The ones who answered
the questions correctly were eligible for a prize drawing in several different
categories.
"We consider our level of participation to be satisfactory," said
Clausen.
