United Way Campaign Ends TODAY – $1,135 Needed to Meet Goal!

The University of Hartford's United Way campaign ends TODAY (Friday, Nov. 30). To date, $23,865 has been raised toward the University's goal of $25,000.

You can help the University reach its goal by making a donation by 4 p.m. today! You can give your donation to Ilena Rosenstein in the President's Office, or make a donation electronically using the link that was emailed by United Way to each employee in early October. If you no longer have the email with the link, contact Ilena Rosenstein at ext. 4418 or rosenstei@hartford.edu.

The University is aiming for 100 percent participation by faculty and staff – donations of any amount are appreciated. 

Everyone who participates in this year's United Way campaign will be entered into a drawing for prizes, including a $25 gift card to the Bookstore and gift certificates for lunch at the 1877 Club. In addition, anyone who makes a donation of $75 or more will be entered into a drawing for a Lenovo IdeaPad laptop computer and printer donated by the Purchasing Department.

And this year, there is an added incentive. Anyone who makes a donation, regardless of amount, will be entered into a drawing for the chance to throw a pie in the face of President Harrison and other senior administrators! The following senior administrators have offered to take a pie to the face:

President Walter Harrison
Provost Sharon Vasquez
Associate Provost Chuck Colarulli
Vice President John Carson
Vice President Lee Peters
Vice President Christine Pina
General Counsel and Secretary Tom Dorer

The pie-throwing will take place during the University holiday party on Dec. 20.

So be sure to make your donation, be part of the fun, and help make a difference in the Greater Hartford community.
