SECA Campaign 2012 – Tell Your Giving Story
Daria Wielebinski and Kizzy Morris
Co-Chairs of the 2012 SECA Campaign

The 2012 State Employees Combined Appeal (SECA) Campaign started on Monday, Sept. 10. This year, we will host a kick-off event on Wednesday Sept. 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. in Stroud Lobby. Aramark will provide us with afternoon treats. Please stop by to learn more about the SECA cause and how local individuals have benefited from donations.

Each department will be contacted personally by a member of the 2012 SECA Committee. Committee members will hand deliver pre-printed pledge forms for each employee in your department. These pledge forms enable you to send in your contribution either through pay-roll deduction or a one-time contribution. Everyone will need to select a service (resource) organization to benefit from their contribution. A listing of resource codes will accompany each department packet. However, resource codes can also be found on the SECA website, www.esu.edu/seca.

Our goal this year is $31,400 and in order to achieve our goal, we need to increase the number of people who participate in this great cause. This year’s SECA theme is “My SECA Story.” This theme reflects that each of us has our own reasons for giving and specific causes we care deeply about.

Please do not hesitate to contact either of us at seca@esu.edu. Completed pledge forms should be returned via campus mail to Daria Wielebinski, career development and student success in the University Center or Kizzy Morris, enrollment services in the Zimbar-Liljenstein Hall.

A Representative from the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars will be on Campus on Monday, Sept. 24, in Stroud Hall 113. As the fall semester progresses, I am asking colleagues for assistance in making an exceptional opportunity available to ESU students. ESU has a relationship with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWC) in Washington, DC. Through our affiliation, our students can secure substantive internships at any of the thousands of organizations – governmental, for-profit, nonprofit, and international – with which The Washington Center maintains ties. We provide credit, and The Washington Center provides placement, supervision, an academic course and housing. The experience is open to all majors, and there are many scholarship awards available to help offset the tuition and the cost of living in the nation’s capital. A TWC representative will be visiting our campus on Sept. 24, to discuss internships and the details surrounding the 2013 Presidential Inauguration Seminar. The discussion will take place in Stroud Hall 113 from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. If you would like more information, you can reference www.twc.edu or feel free to contact me at ext. 3924 or email ksadams@esu.edu, to nominate students or to discuss our ties with TWC.
