Dear Colleague,
This message is about you. I may not know you personally; we may have only
passed each other on campus, but we share much in common. Here, our work
matters because we help students succeed, we help research evolve and we help
our communities thrive. I believe in the University of Houston, and I know you
also have a special reason why you are so passionate about UH.
For me, as an alumnus and president of the UH Staff Council, it’s having a voice
in shaping the University’s future, especially regarding professional development
and scholarships for staff. We want to retain great staff, help them and their
families grow and foster an exceptional workplace where the institution’s vision
aligns with employees’ goals.
Please join me in making a donation to the University of Houston during the
2013-14 UH Gives Back Faculty and Staff Campaign. I donate to UH because

I know my support, much like my work, helps change the lives of our students,
faculty and staff. Think of our community, your coworkers, our groundbreaking programs and the resources that are essential
to your work here.
For example, there are three staff-eligible scholarships available at UH: the Rodger Peters Staff Scholarship, the Students
of Staff Scholarship and the Professional Development Award. These are awarded to staff members or their families who
demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence and a potential to succeed. Because of programs like these, I know my gift
every year makes a difference every day.
I make my contribution via payroll deduction through P.A.S.S. because it’s convenient, and at the end of the year I see just how
much of an impact my support has made. If you choose to make a one-time or recurring gift using a check or credit card, a gift
form and return envelope are enclosed. You also can give online at uh.edu/uhgivesback. Your generous donation shows your
Cougar pride and builds confidence in UH for all of us.
Warmest regards and a prosperous New Year,
Pam Muscarello
