Payroll Deduction
makes it easy 

Timothy L. Murphy
Timothy L. Murphy
Development Director

"Payroll deduction is one of the fastest, easiest and most convenient ways to make a gift to the appeal. By completing the payroll deduction section on the SUNY Fredonia Pledge Form, you specify the amount you would like automatically deducted from each paycheck and where your support should be designated.

"You can have an amount deducted until further notice or chose continuous giving to ensure uninterrupted donations to Fredonia. A gift of as little as $1 per pay period grows to $26 by year-end; $5 per pay period adds up to $130; $25 per pay period equals a generous $650 by year-end.

"Of course, you may also make an outright gift of cash or divide your gift into payments. Checks should be made payable to the Fredonia College Foundation, Inc."

“It has been my pleasure to contribute to the All-Campus Appeal campaign since my date of hire. I have had the opportunity to work closely with many wonderful colleagues and energetic students over the past 10 years. They have consistently displayed a productive work ethic, a shared love of learning and a true commitment to this great University. It seems only logical therefore to support the ongoing educational efforts of our students as well as the productive work performed with dedication and purpose by my Fredonia colleagues through the campaign.”

Mike Daley
Director, Human Resources

 
“Through the All-Campus Appeal, I contribute to several scholarship endowments. Some of these honor professors my wife Wendy and I had when we were undergraduates at SUNY Fredonia, such as Frank Olson and Bob Schweik. They were two of our favorite professors.  These days, I often find myself in the position of asking alumni and friends of the department for support. I hope I’m able to make a better and more sincere case because I’m willing to ‘put my money where my mouth is.’ Plus, as a long-serving member of the Enrollment Management Committee, I know how crucial it is that SUNY Fredonia build its scholarship endowments, in order to attract and retain the best students.”

Joe Straight
Professor, Mathematical Sciences

 

“I contribute to the All-Campus Appeal because I like to support my own department. I also really like the payroll deduction option. It is SO much easier to give $19.25 out of every paycheck (which is virtually painless) than it is to write a $500 check once a year!”

Jefferson Westwood
Director, Rockefeller Arts Center

 

"Andy and I participate in the All-Campus Appeal for several reasons. We feel privileged to be a part of something as important as the education of young people. We are grateful for the many friends and colleagues who have enriched our lives over the years of our association with the university. Our two sons completed undergraduate degrees at Fredonia. However, the most important reason is this: Fredonia asks its alumni to be generous in contributing to the mission of the university. In asking for their contributions we want to stand with them in making our own."

Jim Hurtgen 
Distinguished Teaching Professor, Political Science

 

"I believe that education and knowledge transform lives, because they did mine. Neither my parents nor their parents went to college, but I did, and earned a Ph.D. from a public university. I support public education and give to the Fredonia College Foundation so future students can change their lives."

Jacky Swansinger,
Professor, History

 “I support the Keeper of the Dream Scholarship and Leadership Program because I believe in our students. I believe that all students have the potential to be successful through academics, leadership and life. I give because it matters in their lives!”

Monica White
Asst. Vice President, Student Affairs

 

“Both Laurie and I support the All Campus Appeal and the Fredonia College Foundation because we feel a strong commitment to give back to our alma mater. We both received such a wonderful education here and we want to do all we can to help current and prospective students realize their hopes and dreams as well.”

Dan Tramuta
Assoc. V.P. for Enrollment Services, Student Affairs

“I support the Judith A. Elwinger Internship endowment fund because I believe in our students and know how important gaining internship experience is for their future career success. An internship provides the opportunity to confirm career choices, apply classroom learning, gain hands on work experience and valuable contacts, and is often considered the ‘first job’ in a competitive job market. I give because internships can make a difference in students' lives!”

Tracy Collingwood 
Director, Career Development

 

“Every year for two decades I continued to maintain or enlarge my gifts to SUNY Fredonia’s endowments, especially funds for scholarships and awards. I see my endowment giving as part of my overall commitment to student development, paralleling approximately 150 student practicum experiences within a framework of research grants and public service participation. In addition to helping students in subjects allied with my professional activities, I also focus my funds on activities of personal interest or to honor people who mean something special to me, such as contributing to existing funds honoring friends Bob Gloor and his interest in theatre, Charles Eikenburg and his interest in opera, and Flossie Eikenburg and her concerns for under-represented science.”

Michael Wilson
Professor, Geosciences
