Clayton State Faculty/Staff Fund Drive Reaches 98% Morrow, Ga., Oct. 29, 2004 -- Thanks in part to yeoman work from co-chairs Dr. Jacob Chacko and Rhonda Boozer, the kickoff to the Clayton State 2005 Annual Campaign, the annual Faculty/Staff Fund Drive, far surpassed its goal of a 90 percent participation rate among the University’s full-time faculty and staff. At the close of the campaign, a full 98 percent of Clayton State’s 501 full-time employees had contributed $82,229.96. The current Faculty/Staff campaign also set a record for the total number of contributors among full-time faculty and staff, and gave the University an average participation rate over the past three years of 99 percent. “Another remarkable performance on the part of the faculty and staff to support the University in the manner in which they have traditionally supported it,” says Dr. Bryan Edwards, vice president for External Relations. “Their contributions will enable the Clayton State University Foundation to achieve some of its goals, such as; funding for the Honors Program, the Office of International Education, and to support faculty development.”
