The university’s Annual Fund has a
new name - the Siena Heights Fund.
The Siena Heights Fund provides the
dollars necessary to keep our university
functioning.
“Tuition does not cover Siena Heights’
operating budget. University expenses
far outweigh tuition revenue. The Siena
Heights Fund helps cover what tuition
dollars can’t,” explains Tom Kavanagh,
Vice President for Advancement.
Last year nearly 1,200 people generously gave to the Annual Fund. During
the 2004-2005 fiscal year our goal has
been raised to $687,500 for the Siena
Heights Fund. That figure represents a
10-percent increase due to mounting
university needs.
Donations to the Siena Heights Fund
have a direct impact on today’s Siena
students, both on our Adrian campus
and at all eight of our off-campus centers. Annual fund dollars benefit traditional and non-traditional students.
Bricks Are Still
Available In The
New Saints’ Plaza!
An inscribed brick in the new Saints’ Plaza
area in front of the Fieldhouse is a great
way to honor a student, coach or teacher,
or remember your time as a Saint! A gift or
pledge of $1,000 payable through December 2006, qualifies you for an inscribed brick
in our Saints’ Plaza. This unique addition in
front of our recently improved Fieldhouse
looks great! Fill out the envelope included
in this issue of Reflections, or contact Jere

Reflections Winter ‘05 - Gifts and Giving
The Siena Heights Fund
The Siena Heights Fund allows our
beautiful historic campus to undergo
necessary renovations. Faculty and staff
members are able to engage in further
study and upgrade professional skills.
Most importantly, SHU students benefit from financial aid, state-of-the
art technology, and an enriching academic environment.
Gifts can be restricted or unrestricted.
A restricted gift allows you to give your
donation directly to a particular area of
the university. That may include a specific center, department, scholarship,
or the main campus. Unrestricted gifts
allow the university to direct the funds
to the area with the greatest need.
If you’d like more information on the
Siena Heights Fund please call the Advancement Department at (517) 2647140 or toll-free at (800) 693-0506.
