involved contacting alumni, developing pledge correspondence, working the UNF offices
Development and Alumni Relations. With great additional support from the faculty and
staff at the School of Computing, initial contributions at the level of $10,000 have been
received.
o Hired two tenure-track faculty members, four visiting faculty members, one full-time
instructor, two academic advisors, one administrative secretary, and one office manager
