Subject: SECC CAMPAING

Please distribute amongst all of your employees.

Dear Colleagues,

The State Employee Charitable campaign launched early this month, and UTSA has set a bold goal to reach an institutional goal of $177,000 for 2019. As an urban serving university, UTSA is committed to supporting San Antonio, and this campaign is an opportunity to help the under-resourced individuals and families in our community and to support efforts that enhance quality of life for all of us. We encourage each of you to participate as you are able!

If you haven’t yet given, please consider doing so on Tuesday, Oct. 15. That’s the day of our UTSA vs UT Health San Antonio challenge, so your contributions will count toward that effort. President Eighmy is counting on us Roadrunners to win that challenge this year!

Additionally, as part of UTSA’s overall goal for SECC this year, each VP area has its own pledge targets. Academic Affairs is the largest division at the university, and we have a set a high goal: $117,000. We are  so proud to share that Academic Affairs staff and faculty pledged more than $13,000 in the first week of the campaign. That’s a terrific start, but we have a long way to go to meet our pledge goal. Again, we ask you to consider making your SECC pledge on Oct 15 to help us reach our goals — and to help us win the UTSA vs UT Health challenge!

Thank you for your time, and for everything you do for our university and our community.

With warm regards,

Kimberly Andrews Espy, Ph.D. Peter T. Flawn Distinguished Professor Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

Sam Gonzales VP representative for Academic Affairs
