It is an honor and a pleasure to join my colleagues in supporting the Faculty & Staff Appeal. Very few people have an opportunity to make a significant difference in a person’s life. Giving to the Appeal affords me the opportunity to make a life-changing difference in the life of a student. For that, I am thankful.
Carolyn Champion-Sloan
Director of Alumni Affairs

I give to the Faculty & Staff Appeal because I believe in Cleveland State’s mission and I have tremendous respect for the students who challenge us to live our mission every day.
Susan Becker
Professor of Law

I donate to the Faculty & Staff Appeal because the University has made tremendous strides under the leadership of President Michael Schwartz and is a great force for the good of Northeast Ohio, generating millions of dollars.
Andy Gross
Professor of Marketing

I am, in many ways, an example of all that is good about Cleveland State University. CSU gave me an opportunity to realize my dreams, which helped to mold me into the person that I am today. I believe I must contribute to the future of this institution because I believe so deeply in the new vision. I also believe that support begins at home and you can’t expect others to support us if we don’t support ourselves first.
Lee Reed
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics

CSU serves individuals who might otherwise not have access to higher education. Given the rapid loss of state support, and the tight financial circumstances of our students, those of us fortunate enough to have reaped the benefits of higher education have a moral obligation (and the distinct pleasure) of helping others along the same path.
