Continuing a legacy of giving at 蹤獲扞⑹
Inspired by mentors, the United Way's workplace campaign at 蹤獲扞⑹ continues to thrive thanks to the ongoing efforts of Faculty of Indigenous Studies, Social Sciences and Humanities Professor Dr. Jacqueline Holler.
Prince George, B.C. Inspired by the strong culture of giving encountered when she arrived at 蹤獲扞⑹ more than two decades ago, Dr. Jacqueline Holler is being recognized for her own dedication to philanthropy.
The Chair of 蹤獲扞⑹s Global and International Studies Program has had her longstanding support for the United Ways workplace campaign at the University highlighted as an Impact Story by United Way BC.
Holler is quick to credit several now-retired colleagues with sparking the interest thats grown into her ongoing commitment to giving.
There were some really dedicated people on campusArt Fredeen, John Orlowsky and Keith Eggerwho carried the torch on this initiative for many years. They really drew me in, says the Womens Studies and Gender Studies Professor.
Since then, Hollers involvement has grown into a leadership position. As Campaign Coordinator at 蹤獲扞⑹, she has led the way on outreach and initiatives that provide inclusive ways for students, faculty and staff to contribute, like the annual pay-what-you-can book sale. This years event is set for March 26 and 27 in the Teaching and Learning Atrium from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Dont miss it!
The book sale and other unique efforts foster a thriving campus campaign that is a testament to the power of mentorship and the rippling benefits of a culture of giving.
I feel good about carrying on what my colleagues started and knowing that the campus campaign is making a positive difference right here in Prince George through the United Ways community programs.
