Fall 2017 - Winter 2018 MSU School of Social Work Newsletter MSU-Social-Work-2017-2018-Newsletter | Page 23

S ocial work students enter our field driven by a sense of idealism and commitment to those less fortunate in society. They in turn do many wonderful things across social service venues and often without high financial rewards. Finding the resources to allow students to do the work they love is an endeavor that challenges us all. It is in this spirit that the School seeks any support that inspires you. The School currently is actively engaged in the MSU Empower Extraordinary Capital Campaign, which is seeking at least $1.5 billion campus- wide to empower critical initiatives. Thanks to the generous donations of countless alumni and friends, the School has created many different scholarship funds to support students in diverse areas of social work. You can find descriptions of these giving opportunities at: socialwork.msu.edu/Alumni-and-Giving/Endowments where you can also donate electronically. It also is possible to make donations for the operation of the School more generally or to support special research and service initiatives. Donations also may be sent by mail to: Nancy Perkins MSU School of Social Work Baker Hall 655 Auditorium Road, Room 254 East Lansing, MI 48824 If you have ideas for new scholarships or other initiatives you would like to support, please contact School Interim Director Dr. John Mooradian at [email protected] or 517-355-7515. Thank you so much for your support. Your generosity is essential to our students and to the quality of our School’s programs—your gifts truly are helping build the future of social work! WHO WILL?
