WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY’S ANNUAL CAMPUS SCHOLARSHIP AND INNOVATION CAMPAIGN (CSIC) CONTINUES TO IMPACT STUDENTS Since 1978, Wright State University’s faculty, staff, and retirees have invested in students through the annual Campus Scholarship and Innovation Campaign (CSIC). That long legacy of giving continues with this year’s CSIC, which launched April 1. The theme of the 2019 campaign is “For Our Students.” “Our faculty, staff and retirees have made Wright State the great university that it is today,” said Amy Jones, director of annual giving. “Their incredible generosity has left a lasting impact on our students. We’re counting on our Wright State family to step up once again and help support our students during this year’s CSIC.” Like any previous CSIC, faculty, staff, and retirees may choose among Wright State’s more than 1,900 scholarships and programs when designating their gifts. “One hundred percent of their donations will go directly to the funds that they choose,” said Jones. “No administrative fees are ever taken out of their gifts.” During last year’s CSIC, 49 percent of Wright State’s full-time faculty and staff participated, contributing nearly $475,000 to scholarships, programs, research, and athletics. For the 2019 campaign, the goal is 50 percent participation among full-time faculty and staff.
