An Invitation from the President
On
behalf of the Dickinson State University Foundation, I am writing to thank
you for your past contributions to the Foundation
and to make you aware of a newly created annual giving program which includes
cumulative giving societies and a legacy society. The
Foundation genuinely appreciates your past contributions and your interest
in the future development of the University.
Your
generous support, coupled with gifts from others like yourself, has enabled
Dickinson State University to make significant progress in its endeavor
to provide students with an excellent education and to enhance the quality
of life in the West River Region.
Dickinson
State University is committed to providing a student-centered learning
environment which provides students with the opportunity to maximize their
individual potential and communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving
skills needed to live, learn, and lead in the 21st Century. The University also is dedicated to providing
citizens in the region with a wide range of educational and cultural enrichment
activities.
Today's
students will be tomorrow's professionals, business and civic leaders,
teachers, scientists, and parents. The University's ability to meet these
students' expectations, as well as our own increasingly high standards
of excellence, depends in no small part on the involvement and commitment
of Dickinson State University's alumni and friends. We need your participation, your ideas, and your financial support
if we are to address the challenges before us in a pro-active manner.
Consequently, I urge you to review the enclosed material regarding
the new giving programs and to consider increasing your annual contribution
to the Dickinson State University Foundation.
Thank
you in advance for considering this important request and for your continuing
support of Dickinson State University.
I look forward to working with you as we redouble our efforts to
prepare students to be productive and successful citizens and to play
a more pivotal role in the development of the West River Region.
Richard J. McCallum
