A Day for Augusta State University is gearing up for its kick-off with two new chairs for the annual fund and friendraising campaign. Katherine Sweeney, ’82 and ’99, director of admissions and registrar, and Stacy Tallent, ’91 and ’07, president of Health Center Credit Union, have been selected to serve as the campus and community chairs, respectively.
Ms. Sweeney, a former president of the Alumni Association, is an active member of the ASU community. She has represented both the registrar and admissions offices as the A Day department leader for the past 11 years and has assisted in cooking for the A Day barbecue for four years. Ms. Sweeney serves on various committees including the academic vice president’s council, president’s cabinet, student honors convocation, university ceremonies, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Task Force, and Graduate Council as well as chair of the Banner Oversight committee. She also is a member of the university’s chapter of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
Mr. Tallent recently was elected to serve on the ASU Foundation. He also is an active member of the Georgia Credit Union League, having served on various committees and its board of directors. Since 2003, he has served as the fundraising chair for the Credit Union Political Action Council. Mr. Tallent volunteers with the Children’s Miracle Network annual telethon, is a member of the Augusta Rotary Club, and is on the board of directors of the Marshall Family Y.
“We are looking forward to another successful A Day for ASU campaign led by Stacy and Katherine who are both two-time alumni of Augusta State University,” says Wes Zamzow, director of alumni relations and annual giving.
The A Day campaign gets underway Aug. 10 with a kick-off at the fall convocation at 8:15 a.m., and a noon cook-out in The Grove. The campus campaign ends on Aug. 27. The community campaign will get underway Sept. 16, beginning with the President’s Club luncheon at the Augusta Country Club. The campaign culminates on Oct. 8 with a celebration and the annual alumni association barbeque.
Other important dates of the A-Day campaign include a Chamber Business After Hours at the Maxwell House on Sept. 16, the Jaguar Jaunt on Oct. 2, Health Fair on Oct. 6, Music Department Gala, Oct. 7, and Phi Kappa Phi Symposium on Oct. 8.
