Employees' giving to United Way campaign tops last year's donation

Trinity College employees and retirees gave $27,570 to the College’s United Way campaign, reports Jennifer Destefani, project administrator in the Office of Community & Institutional Relations. Despite an economic climate that hampered many charitable fund drives nationwide this holiday season, Trinity’s faculty and administrative staff triumphed, surpassing last year’s total donation to the campaign by over 30 percent. The campaign ended on December 6, 2002.

Renowned scientists Edward O. Wilson and Timothy Ferris (at right) speak with students at Trinity's tutorial college. The visit, arranged by Sylvia DeMore, administrative director of the tutorial college, preceded the scientists' appearance later that day at The Connecticut Forum, held at The Bushnell.
