Staff appeal kicks off

An introductory breakfast will kick off the Faculty & Staff Appeal 2001 at the Cole Center (East.30th & Euclid) at 8 a.m. on March 20.

In its annual effort to raise money for Cleveland State programs, the steering committee of the Faculty & Staff Appeal is asking colleagues to donate funds to the university. The drive is geared toward helping students and university programs in need of funding. Donors may designate which programs, scholarships, or projects their contribution will benefit.

Last year, the appeal raised $103,000, with 853 faculty, staff and retired faculty donating money. This year’s goal is to beat last year’s performance.

Pledges and gifts may be tax deductible and will be recognized in the honor roll of donors according to the gift level (by Ari Davydov).

New dining cards offered

A new program allows hungry Cleveland State students to choose from a wide variety of menu options while providing ease of payment.

The Dining Dollars’ program offered through campus dining gives students the flexibility of food choice and convenience of a prepaid account.

Unlike earlier programs, should you lose your card, Dining Dollars’ credits are still safe and will be credited when a new card is issued.

Students may sign up for the program in University Center Room 272B with a current VIKINGcard and a minimum of $25. Credit cards are accepted, but a trip to the Bursar’s office is required to process the form, said Eva Boros-Schneider of the VIKINGcard office. “If a student puts $100 or more on their card, they will get an additional 10 bonus dollars for every $100 credited to their account,” she said (by Erika Fogle).
