Greetings Laker Family!

At Clayton State University, we are united by a common purpose: empowering students to achieve their goals, strengthen their futures, and make a positive impact in their communities. The Faculty-Staff Fund Drive is an opportunity for us to come together in support of that purpose.

By participating, you help create opportunities that strengthen our campus and provide students with the resources they need to succeed. For many of our students, a college education is more than a degree. It is a pathway to greater social and economic mobility, opening doors to career advancement, financial stability, and a better quality of life for themselves and their families.

Your contribution helps:

  • Increase access to scholarships and student assistance.
  • Strengthen programs that support learning and development.
  • Enhance resources across campus.
  • Advance initiatives that improve the student experience.
  • Create opportunities that help students achieve upward mobility and long-term success.

Every gift tells our students that we believe in their potential and are invested in their success. Together, let's continue creating opportunities, transforming lives, and advancing the promise of higher education through the Faculty-Staff Fund Drive.

Donate today and help empower the next generation of Lakers.

Sincerely,

Randall Snell

FACULTY CHAIR

It is my pleasure to be a part of the Clayton State University family. 
 
I would like to encourage you to join me in contributing to this year's Faculty-Staff Fund Drive. There is SO many things both seen and unseen that our contributions support.
  • scholarships, student travel, and annual awards;
  • supporting student performances and publications;
  • acquiring non-instructional equipment for your department; 
  • buying refreshments and funding meals for departmental events and meetings; and
  • making donations or purchasing subscriptions on behalf of your unit.
We have such a unique opportunity to be on a college campus that is not only beautiful when you walk it, but from the impact that our contributions have on the success of the students inside of the Clayton State Classrooms as well as when they move forward to serve their communities. What this means is that EACH is important to the faculty-Staff Fund drive!
 
When we give back to our university, it further demonstrates our deep commitment to the institution where we already invest so much of our mentorship, time, and knowledge. Our collective efforts show others just how much we believe in Clayton State University and the bright future of our students.
 
With your help, WE can reach our goal of 100% participation across every department and unit this year. TOGETHER, let’s send a powerful message that our faculty, staff, and the entire Laker family are dedicated to making sure that our students of today and tomorrow are supported.
 
I am kindly asking for your support in the Clayton State Fund of your choice. 
 
LET’S DO THIS!!!!!
