Donor Spotlight – UCF Libraries Faculty/Staff Campaign Exceeds Campaign Goal!

The UCF Libraries Faculty/Staff recently participated in their first librarywide fundraising campaign, Building for Tomorrow, Today!  Thanks to the generous support of the library faculty and staff, as well as the enthusiasm generated by the Campaign Committee, $6,000 was raised with 50% participation, double the initial dollar goal.  Gifts were designated toward the following funds:  Friends of the Library; the Library Expansion/Renovation Fund; the June Stillman Scholarship Fund; and the Universal Orlando Foundation Library at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management.

Members of the Campaign Committee included:  Jason Martin (Reference) and Dannie Helm (Special Collections), Co-Chairs; Gloria Coney (Circulation); Susan MacDuffee (Acquisitions); T.J. Ormseth (Universal Orlando Foundation Library at the Rosen College); Terrie Sypolt (Reference); Andy Todd (BCC/UCF Joint Use Library in Cocoa).

Thank you, UCF Libraries Faculty and Staff, for your support of the Building for Tomorrow, Today! Campaign.  Your support is sincerely appreciated.
