Help Students Via Payroll Deduction Gifts
“I have been fortunate to have been at Worcester State College since the fall of 1980,” says Assistant Dean of Student Affairs and Director of the Student Center and Student Activities Timothy Sullivan. “When I first arrived here, little did I know that I would choose to stay for 28 years—and counting. And while I have had opportunities to move on, each time I chose to stay because of the nature of the WSC community, particularly our students. It has been a pleasure to work with WSC students. They are down to earth, inquisitive, honest, and unpretentious. I am pleased to be able to contribute to a college with students like ours. I see my contribution as a small way to give back to the College and the students that I have found so rewarding. And payroll deduction is so painless. It is my way to demonstrate my commitment to the WSC community.” Sign up to give via payroll deduction by April 30 and your name will be entered in four drawings for two iPod Nanos, a $50 gift card to Jumpin’ Juice & Java (located on Chandler Street), and a $25 gift certificate to Roma’s (located on Harding Street). (Drawings will be held on Friday, May 1) Get your Opportunity for a Lifetime campaign packet, including a payroll deduction form, by contacting Christina Petruzzi at ext 8872 or cpetruzzi1@worcester.edu.

FREE HEARING EVALUATION AT WSC CLINIC
Faculty, staff and students - Do you have to ask people
to repeat what they say before you can understand them? Do you often
turn your ear toward a sound to hear it better? Do you hear better when
you're looking directly at a speaker's face? Do you find it hard to
follow conversation when you're in a group of people? These are signs of hearing
loss. Fortunately, treatment for hearing problems has never been better.
Even the slightest hearing loss can be treated. If you think you have
even a slight hearing problem, find out for sure. Schedule a hearing
evaluation appointment at the WSC Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic for a
Monday afternoon or a Wednesday morning by calling Susanna Meyer
at ext. 8562.

Payroll
deduction is an easy way to give to the Opportunity for a Lifetime’s
special faculty/staff campaign and support such programs as student
scholarships. Not to mention that outside funders, particularly foundations,
like to see strong internal support for colleges when they consider making a
large gift. If you set up payroll deduction to give $2.50 per pay period, for
example, then you would give a total of $65 per year. This faculty and staff
campaign will end on April 30th, and Co-Chairs Francis “Tuck” Amory,
Carol Donnelly, Elaine Dukes, and Carolyn Dumais are looking to double faculty
and staff participation.
