Faculty & Staff Giving

Every member of the faculty and staff is important to the success of the University of Memphis. As a campus community, we work together daily to make possible the dreams of our students. There is an additional way we can contribute toward their success and make a lasting impact on our University.

Our collective participation in the Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign to say "I'M IN!" offers a tremendous opportunity to show our support for this great institution and inspire confidence in other alumni, friends, parents, foundations, corporations and donors – the lifeblood of our institution.

News About This Year's Campaign

As you can imagine, this year's Faculty and Staff Campaign will be unlike past campaigns. We have converted to a virtual campaign in order to best accommodate Faculty and Staff both on and off campus. A lot has changed very quickly over the past few months, but if one thing has remained the same it is the dependability of our Faculty and Staff. We invite you all to join us in supporting the UofM in whatever capacity suits you. As always, participation is key!

Become a Champion for your Department!

Department Champions are chosen for the passion they have for the university. Champions are responsible for sharing campaign news with colleagues, answering questions, encouraging participation, creating awareness and being a voice for their department or college. Champions are vital to the success of the Faculty and Staff Campaign and make an annual gift personally as a True Blue Tiger.

Please consider serving as your department's Faculty and Staff Campaign Champion to help us ensure that every department on campus makes the commitment to say "I'm In"!  Contact LaGerra Williams at ljwllms2@memphis.edu if you are interested in becoming a Champion for your department.
