Welcome to the annual Students First! Employee Giving Campaign! We are excited that you will be part of this year’s campaign and will play a major role in its overall success in 2024!
The theme of the campaign - Students First! – is significant in that for most employees, students are the #1 reason we are at USD. Faculty and staff are among the most dedicated members of the USD community and we are so grateful for the role you play in enriching the lives of students.
A little background, the employee giving campaign began in 2014, and we achieved 42% participation from across campus. During our last campaign in the spring of 2023, we reached 60% participation! Our captains made this possible! Now, we hope to energize our campus again and promote funding scholarship support for our students. Funding scholarships will help us to attract and retain the talented and diverse student population that makes USD such a great place!
Our goal for 2024 is 75% participation in honor of USD’s 75th anniversary!
As we go through the campaign, remember every gift is important, no matter the size. It is participation that counts and shows employee pride in our students and the university. Participation also sends a powerful message to our alumni, donors, foundations, corporations and friends that we, the employees, believe in Students First!
