The ongoing SECA (State Employee Combined Appeal) campaign supports the charitable organizations that you designate – you can select the group you want to support. And signing-up is easy – it’s a simple form you send over to HR – http://www.kutztown.edu/seca/pdf/pledgeform.pdf. Take a look at this short video – http://cmsmedia.state.pa.us/seca/player.asp. “I participated this year because I know there are families out there that are struggling… I give at church and I give to the annual fund… and I’m giving to SECA because I know it will make a difference.” -Sean Dallas Kutztown University Faculty Research Award.
