2008 - 2009 Campus Campaign at JU

Thank you to the 62% of JU Employees who participated in the Campus Campaign between September 3rd and October 1st!  You proved that we believe in our University and we are extremely proud of our success and thankful for your participation.

Leading by example. This is the theme of the Campus Campaign at Jacksonville University.  With faculty, staff and administration contributions, we set an example that a community of giving truly does begin at home. This is our way of endorsing the Mission and Vision of the University and showing support for the future of our students and academic initiatives.

Participation Counts...we need YOU to Lead By Example!
Our participation in The JU Fund proves to alumni, parents, students and friends that those at the heart of the campus community, whose work and dedication is seen on the job each day, believe so strongly in its future and mission that we make our own personal gifts.  Giving to The JU Fund is a method that allows your gift to be used for the greatest needs of the University.  However, if you have a specific program or project that you wish to designate some or all of your Campus Campaign contributions towards, that is equally welcomed.  Either way, your gift shows that we support JU and believe in its future.

Reaching Our Goal and Making an Impact:
We need you.  We can only reach our goal with each person's support and participation.  It's easy!  You can easily contribute through payroll deduction, which also enters you into our reserved parking spot contest, or contribute with a one time participation donation.  With your help, we can reach our goal of providing more scholarships, improving academic and student life programs and creating additional research opportunities and better resources for the University.  To read more about The JU Fund, visit www.ju.edu/giving
