  • On the campaign trail


    Development officers in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are on the road in the initial phase of obtaining donations for the upcoming fundraising campaign.

    The campaign coordinated by the ISU Foundation won't officially kickoff until October 200 and will be publicly announced next fall. The final LAS goal announcemen will be made in conjunction with that event.

    The LAS campaign is broken into four areas:

    Faculty support:
    LAS is seeking to recruit and retain distinguished faculty in its 19 academic departments and one professional school with the addition of 30 endowed faculty positions ranging from endowed fellowships to endowed chairs.

    Capital projects:
    The bulk of the efforts in this area including raising funds for a new chemistry building and for an addition to Snedecor Hall. Additional funding will be sought for improvements to the Department of Geological and Atmospheric Science's field camp in Wyoming.

    Programmatic support:
    Two years ago LAS faculty submitted many proposals as prospective campaign priorities. As development officers visit with prospective donors about their interests in LAS, they can refer to a menu of the submitted projects in order to match a donor's interest with the college's priorities.

    Student support:
    An additional 100 endowed scholarships are being sought as well as 50 endowed Dean's Scholarships and 20 endowed graduate fellowships.

    Alsatia Mellecker is the LAS senior director of development. She is assisted by Michael Gens and Stephanie Greiner, both LAS directors of development. There are several development officers housed at the ISU Foundation office who are also very involved in the campaign on behalf of LAS.
