Town Hall Meeting
University of Detroit Mercy President Gerard L. Stockhausen invites you
to attend the second in a series of Town Hall Meetings on Thursday, December
2, at 12:45 p.m. in the Fountain Lounge in the Student Center on the McNichols
Campus.
Please support the Ethics Bowl, ASB and/or our Intramural State Champs!
You are what makes our University the strong educational institution it is
today. We want to thank you for all of your support, and remind you that all
gifts - large and small - make a difference. You can make a gift through
payroll deduction, which makes giving even easier. Choose to donate to the
Fund for UDM, which gives us the greatest flexibility in utilizing your
gift, or designate the funds you donate to any cause at UDM: a specific
college or school, our intramural championship flag football team, service
programs, scholarships, Alternative Spring Break (ASB) or the Ethics Bowl,
just to name a few. If you've given in the past, please consider increasing
your donation through payroll deduction this year to make an even greater
impact. Imagine cutting-edge technology, campus revitalization, new
buildings and facilities and invigorated student life. Please visit our giving web
site or call Sam McCrimmon, Director of Annual
Giving, at 993-1250. We welcome the opportunity to speak to you
confidentially about your continued support of the University!
