Continue the Middle Earth legacy.

After several decades of students helping students, the Middle Earth program continues to thrive and grow with the help of generous contributions from the University, the Student Association, and private foundations and corporations. With this assistance, we are able to hire paid graduate student coordinators for our hotline and outreach programs and to meet expenses for the training of our undergraduate volunteers. We are also able to participate in conferences on a local, state, and national level and disseminate our work to other colleges and universities.

However, with the passage of time and the associated advances in research and technology in the area of prevention, the Middle Earth program is faced with new financial challenges. For example, we must seek new ways of obtaining resources such as faster computers, software grogram’s which will allow us to carry out desktop publishing and complex scheduling tasks, and updated and attractive prevention materials for our Resource Library. We are also in need of replacing the playback equipment for our Info-Tape line, and we are seeking an opportunity to purchase equipment which will allow more than one individual to listen to hotline calls for training purposes.

If, as a member, graduate, or friend of Middle Earth, you are interested in helping our agency meet our financial challenges, it is now possible for you to direct a gift to Middle Earth in one of two ways. First, when you receive your call from the University's Annual Fund, indicate to the caller that you wish to designate your gift to Middle Earth. If you are not receiving mailings or calls from the Annual Fund and wish to make a donation to Middle Earth, please contact Dr. M. Dolores Cimini, Middle Earth Director, at (518) 442-5800, and she will assist you.

As you consider making a gift to Middle Earth, think about what the program has meant to you and about the ways that it has impacted your career path and your job. Our agency remains involved in training and assisting students like yourself, producing future generations of social workers, psychologists, teachers, medical doctors, lawyers, and individuals in many other professions. It is only with the investment of persons from Middle Earth's past that we can make the agency strong enough to invest in our future students.

Please consider making a gift to Middle Earth. Help us to continue our legacy and keep us strong so that we may continue to provide our services to the campus and the community.
