This year's campaign participation goal is to have 42% of our faculty and staff members come together to make an impact at MSU Texas.

Whether you make a gift online or through payroll deduction, your gift matters.

 

Faculty and staff are coming together to support students, faculty, research, and more through the 2025 Mustangs Stand United faculty/staff campaign: Unmasking Excellence!

Working at Midwestern State University is more than just a job from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.—it's like being part of a mystery-solving team working together to unmask the potential of our students and community. As a faculty or staff member, you're a key part of this dynamic crew, dedicated to providing access to quality education, advancing research, and building a better tomorrow.

Through the annual Mustangs Stand United campaign, you have the opportunity to unmask excellence by investing in initiatives that directly support our students, enhance our programs, and empower faculty and staff. Your contribution—no matter the size—is like another clue in the mystery, bringing us closer to solving the puzzle of access and success.

Join us in this spirited mission to make a difference. Together, we can unmask excellence and ensure MSU Texas remains a place where every Mustang thrives!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is faculty and staff giving important to MSU Texas?

Faculty and staff participation plays a major role in ensuring success for MSU Texas. As faculty and staff, we invest our time and talent in the university and our students every day, but our financial commitment is just as valuable.

Why is your participation important? You help by:

  • Influencing gifts from corporations and foundations, which consider faculty and staff giving rates when determining their own support;
  • Providing support to areas of the university that are most important to you!
  • Giving is not about the amount, but about coming together as a campus - all gifts of $50 and under to MSU totaled more than $20,000 last year alone.

Who can participate in the campaign?

All full-time, part-time and adjunct employees are encouraged to participate. Additionally, if you are an MSU Texas graduate, your gift to the campaign will also impact the University’s alumni participation rate, which is reported to U.S. News & World Report.

How can I contribute to the faculty/staff campaign?

The most popular option is payroll deduction. A modest monthly contribution can, over several years, multiply into a sizeable gift. If you prefer, you can also make a one-time gift.

To make your gift: GIVE NOW or give through the PAYROLL DEDUCTION FORM

Does it matter how much I give?

The goal of the Faculty & Staff Campaign is participation. It’s not about the size of the gift but about your participation. 

Is there a minimum amount for payroll deduction?

Yes, there is a $2 minimum for all gifts including cash, check, credit card and payroll deduction gifts
(by pay period).

Why is payroll deduction preferred for giving by faculty/staff?

Payroll deduction is the most efficient way for MSU Texas employees to support the campaign as it makes it easy to keep track of your gifts. Set it and choose whether you want to make a one time gift or support the MSU Texas program you care about most every month.
