AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE |
Reap the
rewards of giving back to the 2004 Senior Gift Campaign
There are many
different reasons to give to the Senior Gift Campaign. Some gifts come
from the heart, others from pragmatism, and yet others from a competitive
spirit. No matter what the motivation, there are many rewards of giving.
The College has
several ways of thanking student donors for their generosity. All donors
are invitated to a reception at the Chancellor’s home in May and
their names are published in a donor honor roll that will appear in
the commencement program and online. Also, donors who give $20 or more
will receive a Berkeley Engineering license plate frame.
There are more
compelling reasons to give. By investing in Berkeley’s future,
you ensure that your degree maintains its value. Berkeley Engineering
needs private contributions to stay competitive and fund student programs.
Your support will help future generations of students get the same quality
of education that you received.
Investing in your
alma mater helps you stay connected to your colleagues and transition
into the Berkeley Engineering alumni community.
Your class can
give the biggest gift to date thanks to alum Bob Sanderson’s (IEOR
’66, ’70) gift matching challenge. With a 35 percent participation
rate, the class of 2004 could raise $5,000, which will become $15,000
with matching dollars.
Another reward
of giving comes from pride and the spirit of competition. Your participation
can help your major win the participation contest among departments.
You could also help your class set a gift dollar record and Berkeley
catch up with the 90 percent participation rate at other engineering
schools.
