Senior gift committee
raises record amount
The Senior Gift Committee this year raised $15,502.99, a record
high in both number of gifts and dollars raised. It included $5,502.99
from 237 students and $10,000 from alumnus Bob Sanderson (M. Eng.’66,
Ph.D.’70 IEOR), who for the second year in a row pledged
a two-to-one match for funds raised by graduation day.
Committee members, whose year-long grassroots efforts included
personal appeals, incentives for giving, and setting up tables
across campus, included Andrew Cheng (EECS), Alykhan Kurji (BioE),
Danny Lau (ME), Stanley Lau (IEOR), Matthew Lowry (ChE/MSE), Olivia
Or (Eng. Sci.), Adelina Ratner (EECS), and Mimi Yang (EECS).
The gift is designated to the Berkeley Engineering Fund, unrestricted
funds allocated at the dean’s discretion to support needy
students, facilities upgrades, faculty research projects, and
other College priorities. To find out more or to make a gift to
