\"\"<\/a>Wright State University\u2019s annual giving campaign for faculty, staff and retirees gets underway on Thursday, March 9, with a kickoff celebration from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Student Union\u2019s Endeavour Room.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the university\u2019s 50th anniversary, the theme of this year\u2019s Campus Scholarship and Innovation Campaign (CSIC)<\/a> is \u201c50 Years: See the Change. Be the Impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

The March 9 kickoff festivities will include retro-themed refreshments, trivia and prizes to celebrate the early days of Wright State University.<\/p>\n

\u201cCSIC is all about our students,\u201d said Amy Jones, director of annual giving. \u201cDonor support can be directed to scholarships and program funds which can impact our students and help them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like any previous CSIC, faculty, staff and retirees may choose among Wright State\u2019s more than 1,900 scholarships and programs when designating their gifts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The first CSIC took place in 1978, raising more than $39,000. During the 2016 campaign, 50 percent of Wright State\u2019s full-time faculty and staff participated, contributing more than $736,000 to scholarships, programs, research and athletics.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last 50 years, our faculty, staff and retirees have made Wright State the great university that it is today,\u201d said Jones. \u201cTheir incredible generosity has left a lasting impact on our students. We\u2019re counting on our Wright State family to step up once again and help support our students during this year\u2019s CSIC.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the 2017 campaign, Jones hopes for 50 percent participation among Wright State\u2019s full-time faculty and staff with a fundraising goal of $450,000.<\/p>\n

The 50-day campaign runs from March 10 to April 28.<\/p>\n
