Courtesy Committee

The Courtesy Committee is a non-profit organization composed of a group of faculty and staff who maintain the family atmosphere of the university by remembering all full-time faculty/staff when there is a wedding, birth, adoption, illness, retirement, and death in our Delta State Family throughout the year.  Dues are collected in the Bologna Performing Arts Center lobby at the Faculty and Staff Opening Session in August.  Contributions of $10.00 or more may be paid or later mailed to Lisa Sandifer, Box 3222, Broom 343 on campus.  Without these donations, we can not remember our “family” when there is a need.  Please give in August when we start collecting dues.  Thanks in advance for supporting this committee.

Listed below is a list of 2006-2007 Committee members.  Please let a committee member know of any of the above events.
