\"\"<\/a>Since 1978, Wright State University faculty, staff and retirees have been investing in students through the annual Campus Scholarship and Innovation Campaign (CSIC)<\/a>. That long legacy of giving continues with this year\u2019s CSIC, which runs from March 8 to April 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our students continue to face many challenges,\u201d said Amy Jones, director of annual giving. \u201cMany students have lost their part-time jobs during the pandemic and they\u2019re struggling to pay for tuition, rent, and even the most basic of necessities like groceries and toiletries. They need our help now more than ever. By making a gift to a scholarship or student emergency fund during this year\u2019s CSIC, Wright State faculty and staff can help our students when they need it the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like any previous CSIC, faculty, staff and retirees may choose among Wright State\u2019s more than 2,000 scholarships and programs when designating their gifts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cOne hundred percent of their donations will go directly to the funds that they choose,\u201d said Jones. \u201cNo administrative fees are ever taken out of their gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

During last year\u2019s CSIC, 31% of Wright State\u2019s full-time faculty and staff participated, contributing more than $888,000 to scholarships, programs, emergency funds and athletics. For the 2021 campaign, the goal is 50% participation among full-time faculty and staff.<\/p>\n

All CSIC donors, who make a minimum gift of $5, are recognized as members of The Flight Crew.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our way of honoring faculty and staff for their support of Wright State University and our students,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe encourage all faculty and staff to come on board to help our students take off to even greater heights of success.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a token of appreciation, each new member of The Flight Crew receives a lapel pin. \u201cThey can proudly wear their wings and show the world that they are helping our students soar,\u201d said Jones.<\/p>\n
