Volunteers rally to deliver CSU Day signs

Today is the 18th annual kickoff for CSU Day at our university. For 18 consecutive years, faculty, staff, students, friends and alumni have fanned out across the region to deliver CSU Day signs to residences and businesses throughout the region. We had a great pancake breakfast this morning, and Kelley Gibson, director of our Annual Fund, and Russ Carreker, this year's campaign chair, rallied our supporters for this important event.

Jimbo Davis, an assistant athletic director, paid special tribute to Sharon Wiley, who has worked tirelessly on this campaign for 18 years and will be retiring in June. There was a great turnout this a.m., including our Cougar ROTC Battalion, Lady Cougars soccer team, deans, provost and more to get the day started right. When you travel the region in the next few weeks and see thousands of CSU Day signs, you realize the impact of the university on this region and our community.
