Next month begins the 18th annual State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA) United Way Bake-Off, and organizers invite faculty and staff members to consider baking a dessert to help raise money for the 2018-19 campaign.

Thanks to the bakers and tasters during last year's bake-off, the campaign was able to raise around $660.
