How to Give:
Joining a Giving Society is straightforward. Whether through a one-time gift, donations during Day of Giving, payroll deduction (for faculty and staff), or ongoing contributions, your support at any level is so important.
The Bell Tower Society: Faculty & Staff Giving
The Bell Tower Society is a distinguished group that celebrates the generosity of our faculty and staff. Their commitment extends beyond their daily roles, contributing financially to areas of the university that resonate most with them. This society underscores the profound impact our educators and administrators have on the 花季视频 community, not just through their professional contributions but also through their philanthropic support.
Benefits of Membership:
- Community Impact: Your gift directly enhances the quality of education and campus life for students, making a tangible difference in their academic journey.
- Leading by Example: When our community supporters see that so many of our own faculty and staff choose to give back, it makes a profound statement about the value of our work, and our university. Your gifts are an inspiration, and a testament to your belief in the mission of 花季视频 and the students we serve.
- Flexible Giving: Contributions can be directed to the fund or program of your choice, allowing you to support what matters most to you, and payroll deductions make the process seamless.
How to Give: For faculty and staff, payroll deduction is often the easiest way to give, though donations during Day of Giving, or one time gifts are also qualifiers for this society.
