Faculty & Staff Giving
Why I Give
Laura E. Wright
Community Outreach Coordinator
School of Dentistry
Laura E. Wright, Community Outreach Coordinator for the School of Dentistry, believes in living the mission of UDM.
Laura received her bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts in 2008 from UDM, a degree she was able to complete while she was working full time here at the University.
Participating in the Senior Class Gift Campaign was the starting point for her to begin to give back to the University. Thankful not only for the education she received, she is also thankful that her daughter, a 2007 graduate, has the benefit of a UDM education.
Stressing that everyone needs to participate in the Faculty & Staff Campaign, she points out that it is participation that is important. Laura explains, “Everyone needs to understand that what you are doing is making a student’s life easier—you are helping to make dreams come true. It is easy to give where your heart is.”
As members of the UDM community, faculty and staff make a significant and daily impact on the lives of our students. Because you live it every day, you understand better than anyone the mission of the University.
That is why employee financial support is so vital to our efforts. Employee giving sends out a message to prospective donors that the UDM community is strong and vibrant and that our mission is worthy of investment.
It is your participation, not the size of your gift, that is most important. Your gift will directly impact the students we serve. Employee giving is easy. You can donate by check, credit card, cash, or use payroll deduction to maximize your gift.
