Campaign Is a Chance to "Take Care of Our Own"

Print shop manager Tom Frazier worries about the children of the people who work here. “We have worked together to make so many improvements to WCU, and I don’t want the opportunity to be a Western student to be out of reach financially for our sons and daughters,” said Frazier, a proud father of a Western student.

Frazier urged university employees to come together to help protect that opportunity for their families through the comprehensive campaign. Contributions can be directed to specific programs and scholarships. “For staff members, the Staff Forum Scholarship could be the difference in one of our own children being able to attend Western or not,” said Frazier. “If we all give some, as a group, we can make a difference. Every little bit helps make that difference.

“This is an investment in ourselves—to put some seed money for our own kids. Let’s take care of our own.”
