Fort Valley State University

Wildcat fans are giving their stamp of approval to support Fort Valley State University’s latest fundraiser. The university will sell a limited-edition first-class U.S. postage stamp to boost the amount of student scholarships. Wildcat fans can purchase a sheet of 20 stamps for $20 on a first-come, first-served basis. A similar effort was launched last year.
“Our Wildcat stamp initiative provides an additional means to acquaint the community at large with the university,” said Dr. Melody Carter, vice president of External Affairs. “Also, it’s a fun fundraising initiative in which parents and students can participate at a relatively low cost.”
According to Carter, “We rolled out the last stamp initiative near the end of the 2007 calendar year – just before the penny increase of 42 cents. We did make a small profit, so we are implementing it again. We all need stamps from time to time!”
Stamps can be purchased in three locations: the Office of External Affairs, in Bywaters 22, the FVSU Foundation located in the Troup Building, Room 243 and the Public Service Center in FVSU’s Evans Building. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, checks, credit cards and money orders.
To order stamps, contact the FVSU Foundation at (478) 825-6474; e-mail: livatta@fvsu.edu, (478) 825-6135 or call FVSU Public Service Center Director Joy Moten-Thomas at (478) 825-6081.
