Together, for MSOE
Here at MSOE, our faculty and staff are passionate about making a difference. Not only do we see this every day in our classrooms and around campus, but also during our annual faculty and staff campaign. This initiative brings our campus employees together to support all areas of campus, such as academic departments, athletics and student services, and encourages the MSOE community to participate.
At MSOE, our passion for education and innovation extends beyond the classroom. Our annual Faculty and Staff Campaign unites us in supporting vital areas of campus like academic programs, athletics and student services, among several others. This campaign is centered around participation and emphasizes that every contribution, regardless of the amount, makes a significant impact. In 2024, MSOE reached a record-breaking 58% participation rate among faculty and staff during the campaign. We hope to surpass this number in 2025 by achieving 60% participation as we embark on our fifth annual campaign running from April 1 through MSOE's Giving Day on April 17.
