The deadline for the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) has been extended to Nov. 4! This is a great opportunity to give back to the community and help the populations and animals in our region that need it most.

As of right now, we are up to 121 donors, with over $22,000 collected.

Your unit or departmental coordinator has the forms. These forms must be used, we cannot accept Xerox copies. Bring the original and the yellow copy to your area coordinator with your signature or bring them to Jackie Santiago in N723 (713-221-8019), the College of Sciences & Technology Dean's Office. The pink copy is for your records.

Please be advised that only full-time staff and faculty can participate in the annual SECC. You can make small monthly donations through a payroll deduction or by check to State Employee Charitable Campaign or SECC - we cannot accept any cash.

The Houston SECC 2013 Directory has over 350 charities to choose from. For a link to the searchable list of charities go to the online system, please see http://www.secctexas.org/search_brochures?phpMyAdmin=VHfu5VL3ElGX4bN0vvFUxv6Irjd
