posted on Sept. 20: Campus United Way campaign begins today

Today is the official kickoff of the McMaster United Way Campaign. This year's goal is $165,000, an amount that co-chair Tina Horton says is definitely attainable. "It's the same (amount) as last year, and we only missed it by $2,000." The theme, Who Cares? We Know You Do, might have been written with the McMaster community in mind. Every year, McMaster faculty and staff give generously to the United Way campaign, and the campaign committee of nine enthusiastic volunteers are hoping for that same level of support again this year.

At a news conference held today, Crime Stoppers of Hamilton-Wentworth, McMaster University and Mohawk College announced a joint initiative to help make campus communities safer. "Crime Stoppers is excited to be able to expand the awareness of our community Crime Stoppers program to the campuses. In total there are approximately 75,000 faculty, staff and full and part-time students between the campuses; so, in effect these are small communities of their own. We are happy to be able to help address their needs, expand our horizons and deliver the Crime Stoppers message and its benefits to more people," said Crime Stoppers Chair Rose Stricker.
