We are going to make sure that every person in the university community has a clear-cut opportunity to contribute, Burks said. Persuasion is not our job, but we need to make sure everyone has an opportunity. To that end, the campaign has been lengthened to five weeks, Sept. 27 to Oct. 29. Lanyards will again be distributed with information packets to all university employees. Legate said the lanyards this year will be bright orange with black lettering.
All donors automatically get a shot at a grand prize offered in a raffle at campaign s end.
Agencies funded by SECC provide vital services to the community, Burks said. It is important that UT-Houston be seen giving back to the community after the community has been so generous with its support of us.
