In previous years, we mailed out the pledge form to all faculty and staff. This year we personally hand-delivered the pledge form to everyone.

And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them; because they put their trust in him. (1 Chronicles 5:20)

The campus is devastated. Everyone's just feeling a lot of sadness.

I think people recognize they are being given an opportunity to give back to the community.

We always set a goal you feel very confident in reaching, and of course we're always hoping to surpass the goal. We were more ambitious on reaching this year's goal as opposed to prior years, and we felt very confident in reaching it.

I just got word that we received one, hand delivered. I don't have any details where it's from or who sent it because we're not opening them until we all meet.
