Campus Community Support
“Students are the reason I am here. Serving them and their education is our purpose, and that is why I give to Transform MU.” - Pat Pettit, Director, Information Technology
The Millikin campus community, including faculty, staff and contracted employees, has set an ambitious goal to motivate each of its members to support this campaign.
We believe it will enhance the Millikin experience for everyone, but most importantly, for the students who make working and teaching at the university so very rewarding.
Though the results of the campaign will benefit future students, it is the many students who have shared their dedication and passion with us through the years, who have given our work meaning and purpose.
To enhance the impact of individual employee gifts, a Participation Match has been established. For each Millikin, Aramark, or G4S/Wackenhut employee who commits a donation of any amount to the Campus Community Campaign between Sept. 20 and Dec. 10, 2010, generous benefactors from within the Millikin community will provide a matching gift of $10, including donations made in payments over the life of this five-year campaign.)

Scott Flora, President, Covidien Surgical Devices Alumni, Class of 1978 When I was invited to deliver the baccalaureate address during Commencement 2004, I challenged the graduating class to give something back to their new alma mater. Soon after, I had to honestly ask myself: “What have YOU done for Millikin?” My answer to that question resulted in a wonderful journey to establish the Smith/Orlandini Book Award, given annually to a student with demonstrated financial need in the department of exercise science and sport. This ultimately cultivated my desire to establish a permanent fund honoring my family's connection with Millikin.
Accordingly, I have taken steps to endow the Smith/Orlandini Scholarship. Additional support for the endowment has come from alumni family members, who share my pride in knowing that we are helping assist future generations of Millikin students.
Father Nicholas W. Smith Alumni, Class of 1983 As anyone attending Millikin knows, the cost of fees, books and materials, and living expenses are daunting. The annual support I receive from scholarships is essential in helping me achieve my goals.
