[Coehd] Be Counted Campaign

Hi Everyone, As much as I prefer collaboration over competition, I have to admit that my competitive edge is now fully engaged! We've had a respectable response to the Be Counted Campaign (currently 89%), but our participation percentage is considerably lower than that of several other colleges. This morning, we hosted a table outside of the Teacher Induction Ceremony for families to contribute toward the college campaign, and that helped boost our numbers somewhat. All the competitive talk aside, whatever contributions are made will go directly to our college for the benefit of our students, in the form of scholarships and assistantships, as indicated in the announcement. With only two days left, I'm urging your participation-although we will not be able to surpass the COE and COS, both of which now have participation rates well over 100%, we can certainly make our best effort in behalf of our students. Please note that it isn't the dollar amount that really matters (even $1 will count), but rather the level of participation (like the SEC Campaign), I urge you to log onto the website below and contribute whatever you can, either in person, in the Development Office, or on-line. (Previous and current students can contribute as well, as can family members and friends). Here's the website: https://fund.utsa.edu/project/2165 Thanks very much! Betty
