Senior class gift breaks all past records

Kudos to the Class of 2002 for making their Senior Class Gift Campaign a stellar success. Eighteen percent of seniors participated, giving a grand total of $7,170 to the College – an impressive increase over last year’s results.

The committee, headed up by In-Chieh Chen, Jonathan Fan, Ines Lam, and Karl Ni, educated seniors about the importance of giving back to their alma mater. "Joining this committee really gave me an opportunity to do something for Cal," said Ines Lam, who spent a good deal of her spare time encouraging fellow seniors to get involved.

As an incentive, a Challenge Match was offered to seniors by a generous engineering alumnus. The match gave seniors the opportunity to triple the amount of their gift: two dollars were matched for every one dollar raised from students. The campaign concluded with the commencement presentation of the class gift to Dean Newton on May 25, 2002.
