UD's United Way campaign makes final push as goal within reach

2:05 p.m., Dec. 4, 2012--The University of Delaware’s United Way campaign, which officially began on Oct. 8, will remain open as co-chairs Nancy Brickhouse, interim provost, and Jennifer (J.J.) Davis, vice president for finance and administration, said they hope that one last push will help the campaign meet its goal of $185,000.

“The University community has always been very generous in supporting the United Way of Delaware, and we want to make this an extraordinary year for our campaign given the difficulties from the recent hurricane, which have affected many of our neighbors in need,” Brickhouse and Davis said.
