Greetings Laker Family!

At Clayton State University, we are united by a common purpose: empowering students to achieve their goals, strengthen their futures, and make a positive impact in their communities. The Faculty-Staff Fund Drive is an opportunity for us to come together in support of that purpose.

By participating, you help create opportunities that strengthen our campus and provide students with the resources they need to succeed. For many of our students, a college education is more than a degree. It is a pathway to greater social and economic mobility, opening doors to career advancement, financial stability, and a better quality of life for themselves and their families.

Your contribution helps:

  • Increase access to scholarships and student assistance.
  • Strengthen programs that support learning and development.
  • Enhance resources across campus.
  • Advance initiatives that improve the student experience.
  • Create opportunities that help students achieve upward mobility and long-term success.

Every gift tells our students that we believe in their potential and are invested in their success. Together, let's continue creating opportunities, transforming lives, and advancing the promise of higher education through the Faculty-Staff Fund Drive.

Donate today and help empower the next generation of Lakers.

Sincerely,

Randall Snell

Dear Colleagues,

I am calling on ALL of US to contribute to this year's Faculty-Staff Fund Drive. We have made a tremendous difference in the support of these very worthy causes:

  • scholarships, student travel, and annual awards;
  • supporting student performances and publications;
  • acquiring non-instructional equipment for your department; 
  • buying refreshments and funding meals for departmental events and meetings; and
  • making donations or purchasing subscriptions on behalf of your unit.

If we can make it our commitment this year to support a Clayton State fund at a 100% participation rate, we are sure to send the message that our students, our faculty, and our beautiful Clayton State University family is committed to the future of making dreams real. Let us reach out participation goal in every department and unit. Can I count on YOU? I hope so.

Sincere thanks,

Kendolyn
