A N D V O L U N T E E R L E a D E R S H ThankDONORS2008 You and Volunteer Leadership CARNEGIE • SUMMER 2009 33 Left to right: Bob and Irene Bozzone with Dolly Ellenberg, Vice President for Development, and David Hillenbrand, President, Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. 34 CARNEGIE • SUMMER 2009 MUSEUMS ARE TRANSFORMATIONAL PLACES. Just ask the thousands of kids-turned-adults who have participated in Carnegie Museum of Art’s Saturday Art Classes throughout its 80-year history. Or the young adults who literally take over The Warhol for one week a year in a creative explosion appropriately called Youth Invasion (see page 12). Or the tens of thousands of families and individuals who become mem- bers of Carnegie Museums each year so they can experience true quality time, whether it be roaming with the dinosaurs in Dinosaurs in Their Time or gazing at the stars in Buhl Digital Dome. That anyone can walk into one of our four museums and be inspired, challenged, and transformed is all the more important at times like these, when hope and inspiration aren’t exactly in great supply. Last year, a record number of people did exactly that—nearly 1.2 million, our highest annual admissions. Throughout the pages of this special salute to donors and volunteer leaders, we feature the names and stories of the many individuals and organizations who recognize the transformational power of Carnegie Museums. They make it possible for us to do what we do, even when economic pressures challenge the very existence of institutions such as ours. We thank them and honor them. Among those ardent supporters are Bob and Irene Bozzone, who so passionately share with Carnegie Science Center a mission to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and technologists. An engineer himself, Bob enjoyed a long career at Allegheny Technologies, and he knows from first-hand experience what an early appreciation for science can mean to a child. What’s more, Bob and Irene and their 10 grandchildren are frequent visitors to Carnegie Museums, and the Science Center is a favorite place of discovery for them. In 2007, the Bozzones donated $400,000 to fund the first planetarium show at the Buhl Digital Dome. More recently, they donated another $1 million in support of roboworld™, opening June 13 (the cover story in this issue of the magazine). We look forward to welcoming the Bozzone Family to this first-of-its-kind exhibit! Others who have given so generously of their time and energy over the past year are the members of our 2008 Leadership Team: Chris Carson, Chair of the Annual Fund Toto Fisher, Chair of the Major Gifts Committee Alice Snyder, Chair of the Individual Gifts Committee Hugh Van der Veer, Chair of the Corporate Committee With the help and seemingly endless enthusiasm of these wonderful volunteer leaders and their committees, we raised $23.7 million in total contributions in 2008, including $7.1 for our Annual Fund—all despite a particularly challenging second half of the year. These gifts help strengthen an already strong foundation on which we are building our future, one that continues to be full of extraordinary opportunity. On behalf of our staff, the board of trustees, and the many individuals who benefit from all that our four museums bring to the community, we thank the many donors, members, and volunteers who are continuing a long tradition of giving to Carnegie Museums. Your support inspires us daily! David M. Hillenbrand PHOTO: RIC EVANS President CARNEGIE • SUMMER 2009 35 2008 OTAL CARNEGIE MUSEUMS OF PITTSBURGH expresses deep appreciation for the generous T support of its 26,000 donors and members.

    History and Organization Table of Contents History and Organization Carnegie Mellon University History Carnegie Mellon Colleges, Branch Campuses, and Institute Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley Software Engineering Institute Research Centers and Institutes Accreditations by College and Department Carnegie Mellon University History Introduction The story of Carnegie Mellon University is unique and remarkable. After its founding in 1900 as the Carnegie Technical Schools, serving workers and young men and women of the Pittsburgh area, it became the degree-granting Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912. “Carnegie Tech,” as it was known, merged with the Mellon Institute to become Carnegie Mellon University in 1967. Carnegie Mellon has since soared to national and international leadership in higher education—and it continues to be known for solving real-world problems, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation. The story of the university’s famous founder—Andrew Carnegie—is also remarkable. A self-described “working-boy” with an “intense longing” for books, Andrew Carnegie emigrated from Scotland with his family in 1848 and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He became a self-educated entrepreneur, whose Carnegie Steel Company grew to be the world’s largest producer of steel by the end of the nineteenth century. On November 15, 1900, Andrew Carnegie formally announced: “For many years I have nursed the pleasing thought that I might be the fortunate giver of a Technical Institute to our City, fashioned upon the best models, for I know of no institution which Pittsburgh, as an industrial centre, so much needs.” He concluded with the words “My heart is in the work,” which would become the university’s official motto.

  • (R&D) Tax Credit
    Report toThe the Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Department of General Revenue Assembly Bureau of Research on the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue Bureau of Research March 15, 2012 Pennsylvania Research and Development Tax Credit Page 1 of 14 The Pennsylvania R&D Tax Credit Statute On May 7, 1997, Act 7 of 1997 created the Pennsylvania research and development (R&D) tax credit. The R&D tax credit provision became Article XVII-B of the Tax Reform Code of 1971 (TRC). The intent of the R&D tax credit was to encourage taxpayers to increase R&D expenditures within the Commonwealth in order to enhance economic growth. The terms and concepts used in the calculation of the Commonwealth’s R&D tax credit are based on the federal government’s R&D tax credit definitions for qualified research expense.1 For R&D tax credits awarded between December 1997 and December 2003, Act 7 of 1997 authorized the Department of Revenue (Department) to approve up to $15 million in total tax credits per fiscal year. Additionally, $3 million of the $15 million was set aside for “small” businesses, where a “small business” is defined as a “for-profit corporation, limited liability company, partnership or proprietorship with net book value of assets totaling…less than five million dollars ($5,000,000).” Over the years, several changes have been made to the R&D tax credit statute. Table 1 lists all of the acts that have changed the R&D tax credit statute, along with the applicable award years, the overall tax credit cap and the “small” business set aside.

MELLON: FOUNDER AND BENEFACTOR c_1_Mellon_7-19_BLUEPRINTS_2107.indd 2 06/10/16 16:55 Andrew W. Mellon: Founder and Benefactor PRINCE OF Andrew W. Mellon’s life spanned the abolition of slavery and PITTSBURGH invention of television, the building of the fi rst bridge across the Mississippi and construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and Walt Disney’s Snow White, the Dred Scott decision and the New Deal. Mellon was born the year the Paris Exposition exalted Delacroix and died the year Picasso painted Guernica. The man was as faceted as his era: an industrialist, a fi nancial genius, and a philanthropist of gar- gantuan generosity. Born into prosperous circumstances, he launched several of America’s most profi table corporations. A venture capitalist before the term entered the lexicon, he became one of the country’s richest men. Yet his name was barely known outside his hometown of Pittsburgh until he became secretary of the treasury at an age when many men retire. A man of myriad accomplishments, he is remem- bered best for one: Mellon founded an art museum by making what was thought at the time to be the single largest gift by any individual to any nation. Few philan- thropic acts of such generosity have been performed with his combination of vision, patriotism, and modesty. Fewer still bear anything but their donor’s name. But Mellon stipulated that his museum be called the National Gallery of Art.
