A new print campaign began Sunday, Jan. 25.

Each Sunday throughout the year an ad will run on the editorial page of the Times Record News. It will highlight either a donor to MSU or a student who has benefited from private donations to the university. The Times Record News is co-sponsoring the ad campaign. Few people realize how much a university depends on private donations to provide scholarships to students and funding for faculty development. All donations, from just a few dollars to millions of dollars, make a difference. In addition to alums, donations are made to the university from a variety of people for many different reasons. Many realize that an investment in their local university helps strengthen the community, whether the donation is intended for scholarships, athletics, or an academic department. The campaign will not only showcase some of the university donors, but will provide information about how contributions help MSU and the community. It's one more way to say "Midwestern State University - Make It Yours."
