Clock
is ticking for challenge match -- lend your support by June 30
Berkeley engineering alumni volunteers are just itching to give
their money away. Last fall, they personally pledged to match first-time
and increased gifts to the College of Engineering -- up to $125,500,
right out of their own pockets.
But the College will miss out on any portion of that pledge that
remains untapped by June 30. So far, alumni have matched a little
more than half the potential dollars. "I guess this is the
odd circumstance where I'd really like to lose some money!"
says Bob Sanderson, IEOR, '66 '70, vice chair of the alumni volunteers
and a key alumnus fueling the pledge. "We're hoping to encourage
all engineering alumni to use up the entire matching fund -- our
alumni giving rate needs a real boost."
New and increased alumni gifts will qualify for this much-needed
support if received by June 30. For details, contact the Berkeley
Engineering Fund, 510/643-6291. |
