President’s Message

Joel Seligman

Our United Way campaign continues to be one of the most efficient and effective ways to help our community, just as George Eastman intended when he started the United Way (then called the Community Chest) back in 1918.
                              
I am very proud of the many ways in which our faculty, staff, and students help make our community a better place to live.  Our United Way workplace campaign, now in progress, is a meaningful way for us to provide support to our neighbors, friends, and co-workers.

I want to thank all employees and retirees who give to the United Way.  Your gifts help programs that are vitally important to our community and are proven to have a positive impact.

If you have not given in the past, please consider a contribution and being a part of something that helps so many.  All donations, no matter the amount, make a difference.

I hope that I can count on your support this year.
