LSC-University Park President Shah Ardalan was pleased to learn that 69 percent of LSC-University Park employees participated in the 2016 employee giving campaign that ended in October. 

"I asked each of you to do what you could, to participate at any level," he said. "In a true LSC-University Park effort, you did just that and more to help our students. I thank everyone who helped and supported the effort in any way." 

Final results are still being tallied but LSC-University Park's already high participation rate from 2015 increased from 66 percent last year to 69 percent this year. 

Money donated to the fundraiser supports a variety of charitable funds, particularly need-based scholarships.
