Employee Fundraising Campaign

Without the dedication of our staff, Thomas Edison State University would not be the proud institution it is today. Our employees’ high level of participation in the Employee Fundraising Campaign is a reflection of our belief in the University, its mission, and our students. Donations to the Annual Fund and scholarships influence our students’ experience and help them to make a positive impact in their communities.
