Ecole Normale Superieure

Founded in 1845 , so as a simple "mutual aid funds," at a price of 16 statutory changes over the years, has managed, while remaining faithful to itself, to adapt both to new administrative requirements and to operational requirements as changes in French society. She has continued to increase, these more than 150 years, with its field of intervention effectiveness. Except in the dark periods (Empire "authoritarian," German occupation), its audience has remained strong among academics and political authorities. She has always counted among its leading bodies of eminent persons in various ways: going to speak only of the deceased, the president and founder Victor Cousin to the Vice-President Alfred Kastler and Assistant Secretary Raymond Boisset , through the simple Board of Directors that were from 1899 to1914 theFormer cacique-General Jean Jaures , from 1920 to 1940 Édouard Herriot , from 1970 to 1974 Georges Pompidou . The merger of two schools Ulm and Sevres in 1985 that led to two alumni associations and alumni The diversity of the School to take, since 1985, offers roughly twice as likely as their predecessors: but many take time before retiring to want members of their alumni association. And among the old "Sèvres" which, of law and to our great satisfaction, are now ours, about a third of presumed living are still kept in mind. This is double the percentage of members has fallen from 60% of all ulmiennes ulmiens and in 1990 to 39% of the new group in 2001, representing 46% of non overlooked. The association has always paid, including during both world wars, its primary mission of rescue, even in infancy, despite its limited financial resources, and the hardness of the times towards the humble and officials other than senior: meager salaries for junior faculty, no pay due during the holidays including long-term sickness benefits but there random pensions of more congruent, no survivor's benefits for widows or parents while they often die young. The benefit of this aid has been successively extended to the relatives of a deceased member, to non-members or their relatives, students still at school. Many thanks to generosity, especially since in 1877 the recognition of public utility allowed to receive gifts and bequests. Also traditional is the maintenance of the memory of the fallen by the obituaries and thememorial anniversary of November 11.

The merger with the Society of Friends , conducted in December 2005, allows the Association to grant membership to all who have a relationship with ENS (teachers, staff, alumni listeners ...).

Key contacts for giving and campaign inquiries What Does an Alumni Class Do? Classes do a variety of activities together, often right where you live! It’s far more than coming to campus for Reunion and Homecoming. Informal receptions and dinners, freshman send-off picnics in the fall, class ―birthday‖ parties, scholarship sponsoring … these are just a few ways classes come together.

Each class is unique, but one common organization helps classes individually succeed, from the day after graduation to the 50th Reunion and beyond: CACO—the Cornell Association of Class Officers.

I encourage you to connect with each other, give back to the university and current students and take advantage of the opportunities Georgetown continues to offer. You can stay involved even without leaving your home through Georgetown Alumni Online. As you explore the site, you will discover and learn about the many alumni-only benefits the association offers to help satisfy your quest for lifelong learning and show your Hoya pride. The association provides more than 160,000 alumni with programming and events that advance our core mission - to serve all alumni by connecting them to the university and each other, today and throughout their lives.

Alumni Association In its 127 years, the Georgetown University Alumni Association has held fast to its mission: to connect and reconnect alumni with each other and with the university. The original goals of the association included "that students... might... be assured of meeting their old companions and friends." Georgetown's alumni association remains a vehicle by which alumni participate in each other's lives and in the life of the university, and express their loyalty and undying affection for Georgetown - no matter their campus, school, or year.

11 1869 The Medical Society of Alumni of Georgetown University is formed. 1872 Georgetown College Journal begins publication. The Journal serves as a vehicle for alumni communication, including news and essays as well as notices of marriages and professional activities. Early issues called for an organization for alumni participation and the establishment of reunions. 1875 An alumni association is loosely formed but fades after several meetings. 1880 A Society of Alumni is established at the request of University President Rev. Patrick Healy, S.J., and a constitution is adopted. At this time, the society includes only alumni of Georgetown College. 1881 The Georgetown College Society of Alumni meets formally for the first time on June 23. Soon afterwards, all alumni organizations merge to form the Georgetown University Alumni Association. The association sets as its purposes to perpetuate and strengthen college friendships, to collect and preserve materials for college history, and to promote the interests of Georgetown through every means available, including securing financial support for the university. 1889 The alumni association takes a lead role in Georgetown's centennial celebration. During these early years of the association, alumni provide financial support to establish a museum in Healy Hall, an endowment for the Georgetown Library, a boathouse and a grandstand on the varsity field. Alumni also participate in athletics governance, including scheduling and recruiting. 1912 The statue in front of Healy Hall honoring John Carroll is unveiled. The statue was funded through donations from alumni. 1919 The alumni association and the graduating class plant a grove of trees to honor Georgetown alumni who lost their lives in World War I. The Intercultural Center now stands on the memorial grove site. 1921 Georgetown initiates its first capital fund raising drive, the "Greater Georgetown" campaign. The campaign reinvigorated the association; following the campaign conclusion, the association was still without staff support of any kind, and would be dormant for the following 15 years. Alumni remained active, turning out in large numbers for Homecoming and the annual "G" Club banquets honoring Hoya athletic teams. The period also would see a significant increase in the number of regional alumni clubs. 1938 University President Rev. Arthur O'Leary, S.J., asks English Professor James Ruby to serve as the executive secretary of the alumni association: the first full-time, paid director. With university funding and direction, the association begins publishing the Alumni Bulletin, the first formal communications piece for alumni and the forerunner of today's Georgetown Magazine. 1939 The association establishes an alumni giving fund. 1940 Regional alumni club delegates convene to adopt a formal constitution for a revised association for all alumni. 1942 For tax and liability reasons, the university recommends the alumni association be incorporated separately from Georgetown. 1946 A class agent program is developed to raise funds through the Alumni Fund. Giving opportunities include annual membership dues for the association's operating budget. Recommendations by the association's Alumni Advisory Committee on Athletics include: 1) all coaches should be employed full-time; 2) a full-time publicity director (sports information) should be employed; and 3) alumni activity should be confined to raising the necessary money to put athletics on a sound financial basis. 1947 On Aug. 12, the Georgetown University Alumni Association, Inc., is incorporated. The Alumni Board of Governors is established to oversee the association. Fund-raising efforts resume, with the express purpose of securing funds for the construction of a new gymnasium. The Georgetown Alumni Magazine begins publishing quarterly. 1950 The Board of Governors establishes the Alumni Senate. The association sponsors a career guidance conference in Gaston Hall consisting of weekly presentations by alumni professionals on their specialty area. The association also sets up alumni admissions committees; 54 committees with 100 interviewers develop in the first year. 1951 The association moves to 3604 O Street NW. McDonough Memorial Gymnasium, the association's first alumni-wide fund-raising project, opens in December with an Alumni Lounge furnished by the Club of Washington, D.C. 1952 The Board of Governors establishes the John Carroll Awards to honor outstanding alumni for career achievement, volunteer service to Georgetown, and community involvement.

The undergraduate class of 1953 presents a trophy room for the new gymnasium as well as a plaque establishing the Georgetown Athletic Hall of Fame. 1953 The alumni association establishes the Alumni Annual Fund, Georgetown's first true annual giving program. 1958 The Board of Governors establishes a committee - the forerunner of the Annual Fund Council - to guide the annual giving program. 1963 The association establishes the William Gaston Award for outstanding alumnus or alumna in the field of education. 1964 The first Alumni College is held. Homecoming resumes after a 13-year hiatus. 1965 The Council of Club Presidents - the forerunner of the Regional Club Council - is formed. 1966 An additional adjoining townhouse on 36th Street NW is added to Alumni House. 1967 The association offers the first alumni travel program. 1968 The association computerizes its alumni records. Coordinating with the university's office of public relations, the association merges its Georgetown Alumni Magazine and Alumni Newsletter with the university's Georgetown Record, resulting in Georgetown Magazine. 1969 The association's career functions are transferred to the office of student affairs. The Board of Governors establishes the Patrick Healy Award to honor outstanding individuals who are not Georgetown alumni. The awards are given as part of the John Carroll Weekend 1975 The Athletic Hall of Fame is revived. 1980 The Board of Governors proposes and approves changes to the Alma Mater to reflect the inclusion of women on campus. Hoyas Unlimited, the support organization for Georgetown athletics, integrates its operations into those of the alumni association and the Annual Fund. The Alumni College is revived. 1984 Another townhouse on 36th Street NW is added to Alumni House. 1985 The Board of Governors approves the construction of an alumni residence at 3601 O Street NW, to be named in honor of former Executive Secretary James P. Reed, to accommodate association and university social functions as well as provide a residence for the association's executive secretary. 1987 Following two years of negotiations, the Board of Governors votes to integrate into a unified office of alumni and university relations. A lawsuit by a handful of alumni challenges the corporate mechanics of this change. The litigation was subsequently settled with revisions to the corporate structure but preservation of the functional integration of the association within the university. 1988 The Law Affairs committee of the Board of Governors is reconstituted as the National Law Alumni Board. 1989 Georgetown celebrates its bicentennial anniversary. A satellite linked video feed allows alumni in major cities across the country to view the events. 1992 New alumni service awards - the Paul Dean (law), Founders' (medical), Apollonian (dental), and Pat Reed (Board of Governors) - join the Gaston Award, now honoring outstanding service by undergraduate alumni. 1996 The Board of Governors publishes the association strategic plan. An online alumni career network is initiated, with more than 10,000 alumni volunteering to assist students and fellow alumni with employment contacts and counsel. At more than 16,000 participants, it is the largest alumni volunteer effort at Georgetown. 1997 Hoyasonline, the alumni Web site, goes live. The Web site will eventually provide an online directory, career directory and career networking information, alumni news, events registration, class notes, class and regional club information, and information on association services. 1998 With Alumni House in serious disrepair, alumni association staff move to 2115 Wisconsin Avenue NW. The Board of Governors holds its first summer planning retreat. 1999 Alumni House renovation planning begins. The alumni travel program is revived. 2003 Revisions to the association bylaws, refocusing the association on advancement efforts through the class and regional club organizational structures, are approved. 2004 The Timothy and Linda O'Neill Alumni Welcome Center is opened as part of new law campus construction. 2005 The renovated Alumni House, now named for philanthropists Robert (F'48) and Bernice Wagner, opens at 3604 O Street NW. 2006 The Board of Governors created 13 Student Governors representatives from all campuses at Georgetown University to be liaisons to the Association and the student population. 2008 The Georgetown University Alumni Association Faculty Appreciation Award is created to honor faculty participation in

13 Association outreach.

Harvard University

The Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) maintains and enhances a highly engaged, vibrant community of alumni and friends worldwide. The Harvard Alumni Association was previously known as the Associated Harvard Alumni. The latter was formed on July 1, 1965, as an amalgamation of the Harvard Alumni Association (est. 1840) and the Associated Harvard Clubs (est. 1897).

The HAA is the official association of all alumni of Harvard University. Its regular members include recipients of all degrees granted by the University and Radcliffe College, as well as the members of all University Faculties. Others whose names appear on the alumni records of the University, but who have not received degrees, are associate members. They may attend any meetings and take part in any activities of the Association but may not vote for Overseers of the University or Directors of the HAA.

The purpose of the HAA as stated in its Constitution is to promote the welfare of Harvard University and to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between Harvard University and its alumni. The HAA helps alumni connect with the University and with fellow graduates through a wealth of Club activities, continuing education programs, online services, and alumni events around the world.

The HAA has constitutional duties to nominate candidates for Overseer and elected HAA Directors (PDF) and to conduct the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association in May on the afternoon of Commencement Day. The main work of the Association is carried out by standing committees of the Board of Directors, with each Director serving on at least one committee. These committees cover such areas as educational Alumni Events, communications, Harvard Clubs, reunions, the graduate schools' alumni organizations, recent graduates, and undergraduates. The HAA also administers two awards: the HAA Award and the Harvard Medal.

The Board of Directors holds three slated meetings each year in Cambridge. At these meetings, in addition to the transaction of the business of the Association, the Directors are informed about University programs, facilities, and concerns. They participate in discussions with students, administrators, and faculty members. Informed Directors can thus provide knowledgeable leadership in interpreting Harvard to alumni and others. In addition, the Harvard Alumni Association sponsors yearly meetings away from Cambridge in conjunction with local Harvard Clubs and graduate school associations. These meetings assist in spreading the current story of Harvard.

Johns Hopkins University

The mission of the Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association is to enrich the alumni experience and foster beneficial relationships in the Johns Hopkins community. The Alumni Association carries out its mission through programs and services that connect alumni from across the university and around the world.

14 Hopkins University, "to study and evaluate ways of strengthening the mutually beneficial relationships that exist between The Johns Hopkins University and its alumni."

This task force, led by Wendell A. Smith, recommended that "an Alumni Council should be created as a new policy-making body to reflect the diverse academic backgrounds and dispersion of alumni throughout the world. The Council would establish policies relating to the organization and operation of the Alumni Association and act as a coordinating body for alumni programs. The Chairperson of the Council would be the President of the Alumni Association. The size and composition of membership of the Council should be determined by the President of the University and his designees in concert with appropriate officials of the Alumni Association." The first Annual Meeting of the newly formed Alumni Council was held in October 1989.

Your alumni dues provide the major source of income for Alumni Association programs and services for alumni and students across the university. Thirty percent of your dues go directly to the nine schools to support their divisional alumni services, including reunions and homecoming.

Annual Membership is $50. Recent Grad Membership is $25 (Classes 2006–2010) Lifetime Membership is $1,000 (Learn more about the Lifetime Payment Plan)

Membership provides you discounts on alumni events, exclusive access to Hopkins KnowledgeNET®—the alumni virtual library, and myriad other resources and benefits.

PLEASE NOTE: Membership dues processing can take up to 5 business days and are not automatic at time of payment. Memberships are activated on a calendar year cycle and are valid from January 1 through January 31 of the following year. Any memberships received after November 1 will be credited toward membership in the next calendar year.

The Alumni Council is the governing body of the Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association and is responsible for the overall direction and management of the Alumni Association. The Council advises the university on alumni affairs; develops programs to strengthen alumni connections with the university; develops networking opportunities for both alumni and current students; and helps prepare current students for their role as alumni, encouraging them to stay involved with Johns Hopkins long beyond commencement.

The Alumni Council includes approximately 75 voting members and nine student representatives, one from each division. The full Council holds an annual meeting each October.

Nominations Alumni Council members serve three-year terms, which may be renewed once. Council Members are elected by the current Alumni Council from a pool of nominees who have been engaged in Alumni Association activities in a significant way. They must be nominated, they must be dues-paying members of the Alumni Association, and they must annually support the development efforts of the university. For more information, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 410-516-0363 or [email protected].

The Alumni Association presents five prestigious annual awards to honor deserving graduates, professors, and friends of Johns Hopkins:

15 Woodrow Wilson Award for Distinguished Government Service Honors alumni who have brought credit to the university by their current or recently concluded distinguished public service as elected or appointed officials.

Heritage Award Honors alumni and friends of Johns Hopkins who have contributed outstanding service over an extended period to the progress of the university or the activities of the Alumni Association.

Distinguished Alumnus Award Honors alumni who have typified the Johns Hopkins tradition of excellence and brought credit to the university by their personal accomplishment, professional achievement, or humanitarian service.

Knowledge for the World Award Honors alumni who exemplify the Johns Hopkins tradition of excellence and have brought credit to the university and their profession in the international arena through their professional achievements or humanitarian service.

Outstanding Recent Graduate Award Honors recent graduates of Johns Hopkins (within 10 years of graduation) for outstanding achievement or service in their professional or volunteer life. Support of Johns Hopkins may be a consideration, but not a requirement.

PRINCETON University

Founded in 1826 as the Alumni Association of Nassau Hall, it was organized "to promote the interests of the College and the friendly intercourse of its graduates." With first president of the Alumni Association (and fourth President of the United States) James Madison, Class of 1771, at its helm, the Alumni Association immediately began to engage Princetonians in organized alumni activity. Approximately 180 years later, the Alumni Association of

16 Princeton University, with its 83,500 undergraduate and graduate alumni members, continues to thrive. Princeton alumni maintain their ties to the University in many ways. They connect with their classes or with the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA). Alumni of all ages come together through the network of regional alumni associations across the country and around the world, or they meet and reconnect through the various affiliated groups organized by gender, ethnicity or particular interest. Princeton's thriving alumni communities provide a wide range of opportunities for socializing, networking and community service, and contribute significantly to the rich alumni experience that defines Princeton. The Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA) is like an undergraduate class—it is the primary affiliation with the University, connecting approximately 22,000 graduate alumni (more than 25% of Princeton’s alumni body) with the Princeton community around the globe and offering intellectual, professional and social opportunities for graduate alumni and current graduate students.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY

Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) is an organization of over than 90,000 alums, dedicated to helping you stay connected to Stanford. SAA offers valuable programs to foster connections among all alumni, while providing special benefits for members to thank them for their support.

Founded in 1935, Stanford Associates is a honorary organization of Stanford alumni and friends who have demonstrated significant and long-standing volunteer service to the University.

―I joined SAA to stay connected to my friends and the Stanford community in general after graduation. I have found it to be an incredible resource because although I was only a student for a few years, I am an alum for the rest of my life.‖

I The short general description about the Alumni organization from particular University (e.g. date of foundation, notable members, special dates of the organization).

UCLA is a world-class university thriving in a world-class city. The UCLA Alumni Association gives you access to a vast network of professionals and offers you endless opportunities to connect, build relationships, participate and continue to learn from the incredible UCLA community. The UCLA Alumni Association is for all alumni who seek personal, professional and intellectual opportunities, because your UCLA advantage continues beyond graduation. The UCLA Alumni Association is a membership organization comprising more than 88,000 alumni and friends of UCLA and serving the larger community of nearly 400,000 living alumni. Founded in 1934, the Association has a diverse and rich history of bringing alumni together to support the university, its students and each other. Our Mission To enrich the lives of alumni and involve them in UCLA’s future

The urge to associate is strong, especially among young people on the point of leaving forever the relative security of the collegial nest to make their way in the world. Thus it came about that on a warm spring afternoon in 1925, in the sixth year of the fledgling existence of the Southern Branch of the University of California on the Vermont Avenue campus,* five student leaders met in a deserted classroom in Millspaugh Hall to mull over their futures.

The names of the five, all of whom were current or former student body officers, would forever become identified with UCLA alumni leadership: Leslie Cummins ’25, Thelma Gibson ’25, Fred Jordan ’25, Elder Morgan ’23, and Jerold Weil ’25.

In February 1996, Alumnews was transformed into a glossy magazine reflecting the many aspects of the Association and the range of alumni stories. In the summer of 1998, the Association launched its monthly e-mail communication to members. By the following year, the Benefits for Bruins e-mail was being customized into 10 versions, catering to different regions in California, across the country and around the world. In 1999, increased resources helped relaunch the Web site to incorporate more news, information, programs and services. In 2002, the Association revised its monthly e-mails into a geographically enhanced newsletter under a new name, Connect@UCLA,* and expanded delivery to all alumni for

19 whom the university had a current e-mail address.

In 2005, the Association’s print and electronic communications went through more major transformations. The Web site was again re-envisioned and relaunched in October 2005. The final issue of UCLAlumni was published in May 2005, and UCLAlumni and UCLA Magazine merged as a joint publication of the UCLA Alumni Association and University Communications. The first issue of the blended publication debuted in January 2006 under the direction of editor Jack Feuer.

Change continued when Brant announced his resignation in July 2006 to become vice chancellor for external affairs for UC San Diego. Associate Executive Director Marci Weisblatt ’90 became the first woman to head the organization, serving as acting executive director from August 2006 to August 2007.

After an extensive nationwide search, Ohio University alumni director Ralph Amos was appointed to lead the Association, becoming the first African American to hold the position. An internationally recognized leader and innovator in the field of alumni relations, Amos brought a wealth of experience to UCLA, and immediately began working with staff to reshape the UCLA Alumni Association into a ―contemporary organization for contemporary people.‖

With more than 400,000 living degree holders, UCLA's potential to impact the Los Angeles community, the Southern California region and the state of California is extraordinary, and the UCLA Alumni Association is constantly looking for new ways to channel its influence. In 1999, the Association adopted a new mission statement that succinctly captures its purpose yesterday, today and for tomorrow: To enrich the lives of alumni and involve them in UCLA's future. The Association has kept well the promises made in its Declaration of Independence in 1934, and those of the earlier pioneer alumni who had boldly dreamed the dream in the very beginning.

Informational Interviewing Tips Download a printable copy of this guide (PDF format, 122 KB). "Informational interviewing," in the lingo of career professionals, is the process by which you get an insider’s perspective on the nature of a profession, gather job-hunting strategies, or learn about an industry or organization. As with any interview, it is important that you prepare yourself ahead of time to make sure the conversation with a Career Network volunteer (a Georgetown graduate or friend) runs smoothly. As a user of the Career Network, it is your responsibility to communicate with career network volunteers in a productive, positive way.

48 The following are tips to consider before conducting an interview:  Research your interviewee’s occupation, industry, and employer prior to making contact so that you are able to ask them pointed, relevant questions. Use the resources at the MBNA Career Education Center on campus, your local library, and the Internet.  Know how your interests, skills, and values relate to the career fields of those you interview prior to the interview.  Prepare two or three questions to ask your interviewee ahead of time. Here are some to consider:  What are commonly used titles for positions within the field?

 What are the duties performed in a typical day? Week? Month? Year?

 What educational program is recommended as preparation?

 What kinds of courses are most valuable to gain skills necessary for success in this occupation?

 What kind of work internship experiences do employers look for?

 Are there any co-curricular activities recommended?

 What steps besides education and experience are necessary to ―break into‖ this field?

 What are the most important personal characteristics for success in the field?

 What are some related occupations?

 What types of technology are used?

 Where are new job listings found?

 What entry-level positions are there in this field?

 What has been your career path from college to the present?

 What are the most rewarding aspects of your job?

 What are the greatest pressures, strains, or anxieties in the work?

 How would you describe the environment/culture of the work place?

 Who else would be a valuable source of information?

 Follow up with a thank you note immediately after your interview. You may consider thanking the interviewer for his/her time and interest, as well as sharing your conclusions or decisions resulting from the interview.  Proofread all your correspondence for grammatical and spelling errors. Do not rely on the grammar or spell checks on your word processor.  Remember always to be polite and appreciative of the graduate with whom you are interviewing. You will receive a more open response when you approach volunteers in this manner. For more information, please contact Alumni Career Services.

Spirit and Purpose of the Harvard Medal The principal objective of the awarding of the Harvard Medal is to recognize extraordinary service to Harvard University. Extraordinary service can be in as many different areas of University life as can be imagined, including teaching, fundraising, administration, management, generosity, leadership, innovation, labors in the vineyards. The purpose of the HAA Award is to recognize outstanding service to Harvard University through alumni activities and to encourage continued commitment to Harvard in the future. Devoted service may be reflected in significant commitment to a Club, Schools and Scholarships Committee, class, fund, or other activity substantially benefiting Harvard University. Alumni of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, the graduate schools, and the Extension School who have significantly contributed to the University through alumni activities are eligible. Persons not eligible for the HAA Award include current members of the Governing Boards, faculty and staff, or deceased persons. Normally, persons who have received an honorary degree or the Harvard Medal also will be ineligible. Up to six awards may be made in a given year except in special anniversary years. The awards will be presented at an official meeting of the HAA apart from Commencement or at another occasion appropriate in light of the particular service of the recipients. For each recipient a citation will be read and an award commemorating the devoted service to Harvard will be bestowed.

The College Alumni Programs Office (CAP) serves over 98,000 Harvard and Radcliffe alumni. The office oversees and develops programming to preserve and continue Harvard traditions and create new opportunities to connect the Harvard community with one another and to the intellectual capital of the University. CAP plans and executes all College reunion activities and produces and publishes the quinquennial Class Reports. In addition to serving alumni, CAP works with Harvard College undergraduates and the Senior Class Committee on a wide range of events.

PRINCETON University

TigerNet Online Services is the password-protected portion of the Alumni Association’s Web site. Join the over 39,000 alumni who currently participate in the Alumni Association’s online community. It has never been easier to stay in touch with classmates and connect with alumni of every generation through shared interests. This password-protected Web site contains tools & resources for authorized class, regional and affiliated group alumni volunteers. Registered TigerNet users enjoy: access to the Princeton alumni online directory: locate Princetonians by name, location and occupation in the searchable directory; over 115 Web- based discussion groups where alumni communicate with each other on a variety of different topics, including classes, regions, profession/career, eating clubs and other interest groups; an alumni.princeton.edu e-mail forwarding address; additional benefits, including access to the alumni Careers network and the ability to order your transcript online.

The Princeton Alumni Weekly (PAW) publishes 15 times per year, more often than any other alumni magazine. PAW’s online version, www.princeton.edu/paw, offers additional material and a searchable archive of articles and Class Notes. PaW is editorially independent because most of its funding comes from advertising and from class and APGA dues. Undergraduate dues appeals are mailed annually by class treasurers. To join the association of Princeton graduate alumni (APGA) go to www.princeton.edu/apga or call 609-258-APGA.

Throughout the world, Princeton’s 160 regional associations keep alumni connected to the University and each other.

Young alumni: Regional associations welcome young alumni! To receive information about young alumni networking and social opportunities in your region, just let us know where you’ve moved by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Contact your regional young alumni chair…or become one!

Princeton alumni can also maintain their ties to the University by affiliation: gender, ethnicity or a particular interest. Like the Regional Associations, these groups actively organize programs for socializing, networking, and community service.

The Princeton Prize in race relations engages alumni volunteers in over 20 cities across the US. Through their local regional associations, committees of Princetonians organize to honor high school age students who promote harmony, respect and understanding among people of different races.

The Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA) is like an undergraduate class—it is the primary affiliation with the University, connecting approximately 22,000 graduate alumni (more than 25% of Princeton’s alumni body) with the Princeton community around the globe and offering intellectual, professional and social opportunities for graduate alumni and current graduate students.

Many opportunities: Career networking Mixers in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering; Madison Medalist dinner in Procter Hall and alumni day lectures and workshops; APGA Tailgate Parties at home football games; reunions ―Tribute to Teaching‖ dinner and P-rade festivities; Career events and mentoring; regional events with the dean of the graduate school; Volunteer opportunities to engage with academic departments, the university, and fellow alumni; access to special services and content areas on the APGA Web site.

Going back: Reunions weekend—that happy orange-and-black riot held each spring on the weekend before graduation—dates back in various incarnations to the 1800s. In the 21st century the event attracts nearly 20,000 alumni, family and friends for walks, talks, community service projects, Alumni-Faculty Forums, picnics, parties, concerts, dancing, meeting old friends, making new ones, and, of course, marching in the one and only P-rade. Reunions, that remarkable three-day event when 20,000 or so alumni, family and friends return to that best old place of all, is just one of the compelling reasons to return to campus. The Office of the Alumni Association also sponsors Alumni Day, the mid-winter celebration of Princeton, with fascinating faculty lectures, alumni and student prizes, and engaging family programs. Throughout the year, from the first football weekend to Reunions itself, there are various lecture series, alumni seminars and colloquia, and alumni-faculty forums for alumni of all ages. We look forward to seeing you back on campus!

The four-day festivity with its 125 tents, 900 platforms, 1,300 tables, plus P-rade floats, bands, cars, and calliopes is organized by alumni volunteers. Planning for the largest of the major reunions —the 25th —usually starts right after the 20th, involving as many as fifty classmates. There are dozens of opportunities to volunteer, from helping design your Class costume to working as a P-rade Marshal. For information, call the alumni association at 609- 258-1900.

ALUMNI DAY First observed on Lincoln’s birthday in 1915, this Saturday in February brings alumni of every age and interest back to campus. Alumni day highlights: Lectures, including talks presented by the day’s two alumni honorees, recipients of the Woodrow Wilson award and the James Madison Medal; Career and admission workshops; Family fun for kids of all ages —from concerts at McCarter to ice hockey games, art Museum scavenger hunts, rock climbing, Lego engineering and more; Service of remembrance to honor deceased alumni and university staff; Lunch at Jadwin gym for catching up with classmates, presentation of the Pyne Prize and Jacobus fellowships, talks from alumni leaders and honorees. The game: Princeton’s version of homecoming occurs in the fall on the Saturday of the home football game against Harvard or Yale, depending on the schedule. Some classes organize a

58 pre-game tailgate near Jadwin, others arrange for lunch inside Jadwin. Your class or APGA officers will have details. Prior to select Princeton home football games, the Alumni Association hosts lectures presented by faculty. The programs are approximately an hour long and provide a great opportunity for attendees to sample interesting topics and engage in intellectually stimulating discussion before the game.

Volunteering: Every year, more than 15,000 Princetonians volunteer to serve Princeton and University- sponsored projects around the world. Through the generous gifts of time and resources, dedicated alumni put into practice the University's motto, "In the Nation's Service and In the Service of All Nations." Whether as a representative at a high school college fair, as a career services mentor, as a team leader for a local soup kitchen or as a class officer, Princeton volunteers make a difference. Work with your class as an officer or regional representative; Host a gathering for your local regional association; recruit and interview prospective students in your hometown; Join a telethon for annual giving; Provide career advice to other Princetonians; Help choose recipients for the Princeton Prize in race relations by sitting on your local committee; Marshal at the P-rade; organize a lecture series for your affinity group; start an online discussion group on Tigernet; nominate Princetonians for alumni Trustee, the Woodrow Wilson award, the James Madison Medal, or awards for service to Princeton.

Through the Alumni Association’s Education programs, which include the educational travel study program Princeton Journeys, explore new subjects or revisit favorites in the company of old classmates, new friendsand some of the most respected teachers and scholars in the world. Spanning the disciplines, the educational offerings take place on campus and online, at home and abroad. Make Princeton a destination for lifelong learning.

The more than 80,000 members of Princeton’s Alumni Association are among the most loyal alumni in the world. At no other university do graduates play as large a role in the well-being of the institution. Alumni volunteers create and maintain the programs led by Alumni. Leading the literally thousands of alumni serving alumni are the members of the Alumni Council. The Council is made up of over 300 class and regional officers and other key volunteers. Its work is in turn supported by colleagues at the office that serves the Alumni Council and the Alumni Association. As University employees, many of whom are also alumni, we provide continuity and support for all of the Alumni Association’s volunteer programs. Our office is in Maclean House, home to Princeton’s first ten presidents and named after one: John Maclean, Jr. I invite you to call or visit Maclean House and learn more about what you can do for Princeton, and what Princeton can do for you.

AWARDS: The Alumni Association makes a number of awards throughout the year. Some are in recognition of general achievement, while others are specific to Reunions activities. Some are made to individuals, while others are made to alumni organizations, be they classes, regions, affiliated groups or committees.

It's a collection of individual pages submitted by you and your fellow classmates that is printed and bound into a COMPLIMENTARY reunion year keepsake and shipped to you and every member of your class ( '61, '66, '71, '76, '81, 86, '91, '96, '01 and '06) at the end of the summer. If you cannot return to Stanford for your reunion, submitting your Class Book page is a quick and easy way to be a part of the celebration!

Make it Personal! Want to guarantee you see those familiar faces during Reunion Homecoming Weekend? Make reunion your own by bringing together your frosh dorm, overseas studies classmates, Greek organization, performance group or any other affinity

60 group by planning a Mini-Reunion. You can hold your Mini-Reunion anytime during the weekend (check the reunion schedule to avoid overlapping with your big class events). Planning is Easy. Many reunion classes are planning a centrally located Mini-Reunions event, so in most cases, the planning details are done for you. Your group members can easily "mini-hop" to visit other classmates at the same central location.

Join your Reunion Committee: Reunions simply aren't possible without a team of classmates helping to make them happen. Just an hour or two of your time can help ensure that you and your classmates have the memorable reunion you'd like. Join your Reunion Committee and volunteer by: Calling classmates to encourage reunion attendance; Rallying classmates to customize Class Book pages; Serving as event greeters or hosts; Providing photos and/or other memorabilia; Serving on the Class Campaign (fundraising) committee; Planning Mini- Reunions of affinity groups. Once you join the committee, your name will be added to your reunion class committee list. In the upcoming months a class representative will contact you with specific information about getting involved.

Asians in the Ivory Tower: America's Equity Agenda

April 06, 2011

One of the most urgent challenges facing the United States in the 21st century is increasing the proportion of Americans with a postsecondary credential to meet the growing needs and changing demands of a global economy. This can only be achieved through the participation of all Americans, including underrepresented racial minority groups, low-income students, immigrants, and language minorities. It is within this context that this panel highlights the relevance of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) student population - a large and growing segment in higher education that is often overlooked, underserved, and fundamentally misunderstood.

YALE UNIVERSITY

―As Chairman of the Yale Alumni Fund, I am pleased to invite you to make a difference in the lives of current Yale students by becoming a volunteer for the Yale Alumni Fund.‖

Alumni and parents have been advocating annual giving to Yale for more than a century, and nearly 2,300 individuals have dedicated themselves to these efforts for decades. Our strength is in our collaboration and a commitment to providing the flexible dollars Yale depends on from its extended family who, year after year, honor the tradition of giving back.

As an Agent of the Yale Alumni Fund you will solicit a group of classmates on behalf of the University with the support and guidance of the Development Office and your peers. Our team of volunteers is especially important as we work toward our goals during this final year of the Yale Tomorrow campaign. In addition to fundraising, this peer to peer outreach keeps alumni connected not only to the University but to each other. Volunteers also are invited to events such as regional luncheons and Volunteer Convocation.

―I’ve been volunteering for Yale for many years, and remain inspired and energized by the opportunity to connect with classmates in support of our university. I hope you will join me as a YAF volunteer and be a part of this Yale tradition.‖

The Yale Career Network (YaleCN) is a database of alumni who are interested in networking with you. This network will allow you to connect with other alumni to discuss career objectives and explore career interests. You can also serve as a career resource to others by sharing your experience, skills, and expertise. Additionally, you can now search for and download the resumes of alumni with particular skills and interests, as well.

Yale Educational Travel offers an array of programs to destinations around the world. The educational connection through Yale faculty lectures remains at the heart of the AYA travel programs.

In the spring of 2010, at more than 250 sites around the world, members of the Yale community helped to make their neighborhoods a better place by participating in the Yale Day of Service. More than 3,500 people came together to serve food in soup kitchens, tutor school children, clean up parks and beaches, build houses for the homeless, provide support to orphan children and so much more.

Over 140 domestic Yale Clubs and Associations and more than 40 international clubs

74 provide a "Yale away from Yale," keeping alumni connected to the University, to their local communities, and to each other. These alumni groups are run by volunteers and reflect Yale's core values of education, community, and service. Yale Clubs offer alumni a wide variety of activities, services, and opportunities. You can rekindle old friendships, make new acquaintances, continue lifelong learning, enjoy special events, and explore professional opportunities, all the while helping to enhance Yale's reputation in your community. Don't forget to use this valuable resource when you travel or move!

Join in and help make your community a better place as part of the third global Yale Day of Service on Saturday, May 14th. Connect with other alumni, strengthen your community, and carry forward Yale's great tradition of service! You are invited to join the growing movement of Yale alumni connecting in service and making a difference in your community. Tutor children...restore a park...build a home...serve a meal...and so much more. Service for society is a core Yale tradition, flourishing among students in New Haven and in generations of alumni around the country and across the globe. Last year, over 3,500 Yale alumni and friends gave their time and made a difference where they live and work at nearly 250 sites in 40 states and 18 countries. Many of the projects were catalysts for ongoing community service by alumni throughout the year.

Take a look at the many sites available on the Service Sites page and register for the one that is of greatest interest to you. And, if there is not a site in your area, or if you have an idea for another site, go to the Toolbox page or contact the Regional Director for your area to see how you can make one happen. Click here for a short video about the Yale Day of Service and see how YOU can make a difference where you live. Expressing the University’s continued commitment to financial aid—and to encourage increased giving to this critical priority—we are launching Reunions Rally for Students, a special incentive program for Yale College alumni.

TRADITIONAL STRENGTHS + NEW VISION = THE NEW AYA We are committed to strengthening the successful traditional activities of the AYA, most importantly reunions and the numerous class and club events. We will be more ambitious in serving all of Yale's alumni -- graduates of Yale College and those from the graduate and professional schools. We are committed to supporting the growing ways Yale graduates want to affiliate. A major focus for the AYA's work will be shared interest/shared identity groups (whether women, blacks, singers, entrepreneurs, etc.).We recognize that the interests of new graduates, those with young families, and retirees are simply different. Among other age-tailored programs, we will create stronger institutional ties with young alumni. We will redouble efforts to give new meaning to lifelong learning. We will expand educational opportunities and increasingly take advantage of new media channels to bring Yale teaching to you. Nearly half of Yale alumni live in just seven metropolitan areas. We will increase support to clubs in major cities, even as we explore how better to support all alumni, including our international graduates and affiliates. We will develop new programs and services of value to alumni. Community service sponsored by Yale groups is just one of the ideas we heard -- and have embraced. We will offer you new opportunities to serve Yale. Volunteer talent makes incredible contributions to Yale, but the "human capital" of the alumni body has only begun to be tapped. The AYA will sponsor projects you find appealing that link to important University

75 goals. We will give better support to our volunteer leaders by providing them with more staff assistance at the AYA and by investing in online services and new technological tools to make service easier.

The Association of Yale Alumni applauds the outstanding dedication and accomplishments of Yale’s many volunteers. Volunteers give of their time and their talent in so many ways, demonstrating that the best of Yale can be the best for Yale. While Yale volunteering - whether for your Yale College Class, regional club, graduate or professional school association, shared interest group or other group - is its own reward, the Yale Alumni Association seeks to honor and recognize those individuals and alumni group whose service stands out. Inaugurated in 1952, the Yale Medal is the highest award presented by the Association of Yale Alumni, conferred solely to honor outstanding individual service to the University. Each year's recipients reflect the range of service and leadership the AYA strives to recognize with this award. We honor these individuals for their remarkable contributions, and we recognize that they do honor to Yale and to all of us in the alumni community by the ways in which they have chosen to render service back to our treasured community of scholars and friends.

III The highly important is to look for the funding options for each alumni organization. Describe/list the mechanism they are using for sustaining themselves (donations through internet, events for rising money, special memberships etc). Please be aware that this information is crucial for the project and focus mostly on this.

Australian National University

Cultural gifts including personal property such as rare books, works of art, valuable collectibles and tangible items of demonstrated value. 3. Pledges formal statement of intention to make a gift, at intervals convenient to the donor. A pledge often allows donors to make a more generous gift through payments over time 4.

Important aspect of this project in tax benefits: ―Payroll giving enables you to donate money directly through your pay on a regular basis and receive an immediate tax benefit as you give. By spreading your donations through fortnightly pay deductions over the year, you can ease the financial burden of making a larger one-off donation. There is no requirement for you to collect and track receipts for tax time, as a summary of your payroll deduction donations will be included on your PAYG Summary issued in July each year, for inclusion in your tax return.‖

Annual giving has an immediate and meaningful impact on students and enables McGill to provide unrivalled academic excellence, redefine the boundaries of education, and move forward with confidence, inspiration and strength. Since 1948, the Annual Fund has been an integral source of support for McGill, providing flexible funding for teaching and research initiatives, as well as for student aid, library resources, athletics and individual faculties and schools.

The Alma Mater Fund is McGill's hallmark alumni fund, which appeals to alumni to help support the University's most pressing day-to-day needs and opportunities. Gifts from graduates provide flexible financial support for teaching and research initiatives throughout McGill, as well as funding for student aid, library resources, athletics, and individual faculties and schools.

When considering a large, transformative gift to McGill, donors often choose to donate by either providing direct funding or establishing an endowment. As opposed to endowed gifts, which are invested by the University to both create a steady income stream and increase the principal, directly funded gifts are spent immediately or over a defined period.

Benefits of going direct

Comparatively, directly funded gifts have a higher immediate impact than an equivalent gift in endowment. They are spent relatively quickly – over three or five years – in support of donor-specified purposes such as scholarships and fellowships, campus renovations, lecture series, student travel funds, and countless other worthy initiatives.

What to Give Of the many ways to give to Columbia, most donors choose cash and cash equivalents, whether as annual gifts, a one-time gift, or a gift pledged over a period of years.

Tax Advantages

A cash gift entitles you to the most generous federal income tax charitable deduction up to 50 percent of adjusted gross income. If all deductible gifts in that year exceed the 50-percent limit, the excess amount may be carried over as a deduction for up to five years.

Matching Programs

Many companies will make a matching gift to Columbia when one of their employees makes a donation. To find out if your company has such a program, use our convenient search engine.

With a little planning, your gift to the University can help achieve your financial, philanthropic, and estate-planning goals.

Planned gifts give back, allowing you to take sizeable income, capital gains, and estate deductions on your taxes. They can provide income for you and your family for life. And planned gifts can be much larger than other gifts, so you can leave a legacy that fits your philanthropic goals.

Volunteers: Lending Energy Giving to Columbia involves more than money: it’s also the time alumni and friends invest in connecting and reconnecting with students, faculty, and graduates. Across all schools, alumni are choosing to stay affiliated with the University—lending their energy and expertise to the extended Columbia community. Joining a volunteer program can pay off for you as 83 well, as you mentor students and new graduates, connect with alumni associations in cities across the globe, and participate in community outreach. In addition to University-wide volunteer opportunities, there are many volunteer programs and activities supported by individual schools at Columbia.

Some alumni also support the University as volunteer fundraisers. These volunteers give their time to serve as spokespeople and solicitors, sharing gift opportunities with friends and fellow alumni.

Matching Gifts of Service

Building a strong volunteer organization to create a higher level of alumni engagement and future philanthropy is one of our Campaign goals. Many of our corporate partners encourage volunteer service by matching gifts of service.

The Alumni Fund raises unrestricted funds for the Institute on an annual basis. Each year the Alumni Fund contacts approximately eighteen thousand Caltech alumni to ask for their support.

Mission Statement: The mission of the Caltech Alumni Fund is to provide opportunities to the alumni of Caltech to express their continued connection to the Institute through consistent annual contributions.

There are many ways to support Caltech, some of which may even allow donors to provide more than they realize. Some key tax considerations that may help donors increase the amount of their gifts are described below.

Development Operations staff manages communications and marketing, events, donor research, donor stewardship, development records and gift processing in support of fundraising activities.

Appreciated Securities: Donors making gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have grown in value) earn an income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of their securities and avoid capital gain taxes on the transfer.

To receive credit for the current calendar/tax year, the electronic transfer from an account or the postmark on the transmittal of the stock certificates must be no later than December 31. Please click here for further instructions.

Real and Personal Property: A residence or other real property may be given as an outright gift, or donors may prefer to give their home and retain the right to occupy the property for life. Personal property such as paintings, library books, or musical instruments can also make useful gifts.

Bequests: A will provision allows donors to make a substantial contribution without diminishing the assets available to them during their lifetime. Since bequests are deductible from their taxable estate, significant estate tax savings are possible.

Pooled Income Fund: Gifts to a pooled income fund are invested together with gifts of other donors to the fund, and the income earned by the fund each year is shared among the participants. Donors incur no capital gain on the transfer of appreciated long-term securities to the fund. Donors also receive a charitable deduction for a portion of their gift as calculated with Internal Revenue Service tables.

Charitable Gift Annuity: In exchange for a gift of money or securities, Caltech will pay the donor or a loved one a fixed amount annually for the rest of his or her life. A large portion of the income is tax free, and donors also receive a charitable deduction for part of their gift.

Charitable Remainder Trusts: Donors can use an irrevocable trust to provide themselves or a loved one with a fixed annual income or an income that varies with the amount of the trust. Part of the trust qualifies for an income tax deduction. At the death of the last income beneficiary, the corpus of the trust is distributed to the charity.

Charitable Lead Trust: Donors can support Caltech for a term of years or for the life of an individual by creating a charitable lead trust. Income will be paid to the Institute each year during the life of the trust. When the trust terminates, the assets in the trust revert to the donor or to individuals the donor wishes to benefit.

Life Insurance: When donors give a life insurance policy to charity, the present cash surrender value of the policy is deductible as a charitable contribution. If donors continue to pay premiums after their gift, they are also deductible.

"It's not just the wealthiest that make planned gifts to Caltech" says supporter Steve Frautschi (see story). Charitable-giving incentives put vital support for Caltech and its world-changing research within reach for many people, but few know all of the options available to them.

Many people have been surprised at how gift planning can generate even greater support for programs they care about than they originally thought. Planned gifts to Caltech have endowed scholarships and professorships, built labs, and helped sustain research and education.

Please feel welcome to call or e-mail to talk about a gift or just gather information. You can call 626-395-2927 or contact gift-planning staff directly (here's the team).

Your Goals If you'd like to:

Manage your finances and utilize assets to provide income and tax benefits for yourself and your loved ones Support research in areas you care about, such as biomedicine, environment, energy, and basic sciences Create a legacy by sustaining Caltech, a world-class, private research and education institute Please explore this site or call the Office of Gift Planning.

More than any other single factor, it is Caltech people—faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, friends, and supporters—who make Caltech the singular institution it is. Each contributes to Caltech’s electric environment of curiosity and discovery.

Why do Caltech faculty and students so often make discoveries and inventions that change the world? It's not just because they have access to cutting-edge labs and instruments, but because they have the flexibility to exercise their vision. That’s why endowed support for them—scholarships, fellowships, professorships, discovery funds, and so forth—are every bit as important as the funds dedicated to concrete and steel.

You can help advance discoveries and education in areas that interest you by contributing to an existing endowment, or by establishing a new, named endowment. If you'd like more information, please call 626/395-6134 or 877/CALTECH to speak with a member of the development staff.

―Doing the kind of science that makes Caltech special requires the freedom to pursue new ideas quickly, to be creative and think outside the box, and to have the resources to carry those ideas through to completion. If we relied entirely on external federal funding, it would be completely impossible to do that—such funding is far too slow and far too conservative. It is not science the Caltech way. I think one of the big reasons we’re able to attract the best young faculty in the world is also related to this: they know that here they can do exactly the work they believe to be the most important.‖ —Ralph Adolphs, Bren Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Professor of Biology

Welcome to the Cornell Annual Fund

Ezra Cornell's vision established a scope of learning and opportunity at Cornell that is unmatched by any other university. Whether it is of ethics, the life sciences, history,

87 language, humanities or technology, Cornell remains at the forefront of society's greatest questions and challenges for the future.

Our Investment supports Cornell's incredible diversity of students, subjects of study, and faculty. Your gifts to the Cornell Annual Fund are a vital part of what creates the atmosphere of innovation and excellence that is the hallmark of Cornell.

Cornell Annual Fund giving programs offer a range of gift and volunteer opportunities to support our founders' vision. We hope you will choose to get involved, and support Cornell, and become part of the university's continued excellence in teaching, research and public service.

Our Mission

To promote a commitment to annual support of Cornell University through consistent giving and involvement among the broadest audience of Cornellians and Friends.

Beginning with Ezra Cornell's gift of prime real estate—his farm far above Cayuga's waters. Cornell University has achieved a worldwide reputation, a place in the Ivy League, and distinction as a truly egalitarian institution. Its preeminence results from the help of thousands of dedicated alumni and friends.

From gifts of land to gifts of books, manuscripts, artwork, equipment, supplies, business interests, and cash, the generosity of farsighted individuals has always been a key to Cornell's success. But today's benefactors can also choose to employ one or more of a variety of giving techniques that offer a number of advantages. In fact, committing upfront cash is not the only way to make a charitable gift.

The Office of Foundation Relations is designated as Cornell's central agency to manage the relationships between Cornell University and private philanthropic foundations.

Our goal is to increase the amount and relevance of grants to the Cornell Community. We work to promote university priorities, as designated by the President, the Trustees, the Provost, and the Deans of the Colleges. We offer services to ensure that each University 88 contact with a private foundation is strategic and optimized.

Foundation Relations is part of University Development under the leadership of the Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Development. We also work with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to identify which office is most appropriate to handle specific applications and awards.

Our services aim to boost foundation funding to Cornell by ensuring:

 Timely and appropriate communication with foundation representatives

 The best match between campus and foundation interests

 Strategic and coordinated approaches to private foundations

The Importance of Foundation Support to Cornell University

 Foundations play an important role in higher education. Their decisions about areas of need significantly affect universities. Their special resources are often targeted to make a significant difference in a particular area of interest. Their choices create opportunities in designated research areas, influence the building of facilities, programs and departments at colleges, and play an important role in defining future directions for higher education.

 Foundations have supported an impressive history of accomplishments during the past century at Cornell and elsewhere. Their funds have often served as a catalyst for new projects. Their vote of confidence has often been crucial to further support from additional sources.

 No two private foundations are exactly alike. Cornell University established the Office of Foundation Relations to ensure that the special history and dynamics of each relationship are kept in mind when communicating with foundations.

What does the Office of Foundation Relations actually do?

 Offer leadership and guidance to those on campus who engage in foundation fundraising.

 Provide briefings and make arrangements for visits to foundations by the president, provost, deans, and faculty, and facilitate visits to campus by foundation personnel.

 Provide research information on foundations, and suggest or help to identify appropriate sources of foundation funding for particular projects.

 Stay aware of foundation trends so as to assist Cornell faculty and administration in strategy development. Our office reviews and maintains a library of foundation literature, especially annual reports; maintains contact with Cornell faculty, staff, and trustees having close connections to particular foundations; develops personal

89 contacts with program officers and other officials at foundations.

 Review proposals and, if appropriate, assist in their writing.

 Receive, assess, circulate, and assist in developing responses to foundation RFPs (Requests for Proposals).

 Track foundation grants that come in to the University, assist with reports if necessary and send reminders of impending report due dates.

 Work with senior university officials and faculty to develop proposals that will particularly suit expressed foundation interests.

Georgetown is among the few schools in the nation to require an admissions interview, and the AAP membership (nearly 5,000 alumni strong) interviews the vast majority of the applicants. Members of the AAP may be involved in the admissions effort in a variety of other ways, including attending receptions, college nights and local business meetings.

The Part I (the Personal Data Form) of the Georgetown application triggers the alumni interview, and the interviews are assigned between September and March. Both the interviewer and the student receive a notice informing them of the interview, and ask the student to take the initiative to contact his/her interviewer. New Member Interest If you are a Georgetown alumnus interested in joining the AAP, we would love to hear from you. There are many committees around the country and world that are in need of new interviewers each admissions cycle. Please fill out the AAP Membership Interest

91 Form; and we will be in touch in late summer to confirm that we have added you to an admissions committee.

GENERAL QUESTIONS

What is the Annual Fund and where does my donation go? The Annual Fund is the most direct way for alumni, friends and family to support Georgetown University.

Alumni like you who donate to the Annual Fund form the community that makes the Georgetown experience possible. BACK TO TOP

Tuition revenue covers approximately two-thirds of the annual cost of education. Unrestricted support is a critical source of funding to bridge the difference. BACK TO TOP

What are endowment gifts? Much like savings accounts, endowment funds generate income from the investment of the principal. A gift to an endowment is placed in a restricted account so that it may grow and spin off more and more income as years pass and ensure the future financial stability of the institution. The principal always remains intact. Currently, Georgetown has the lowest endowment ranking for a top 25 school, positioned at 67th out of all universities. BACK TO TOP

Where does Georgetown University need the most support and can I specify how my gift will be used? Georgetown President John J. DeGioia has identified scholarships as the top giving priority to achieve the university's mission. In September 2009, he announced an important new effort to support access and affordability at Georgetown through an initiative called the 1789 Scholarship Imperative.

99 The imperative calls for raising $500 million by 2014 to transform Georgetown’s ability to provide competitive scholarships to more students. All contributions to the Georgetown Fund will go to the 1789 Scholarship Imperative. As always, you may continue to support any area of the university you desire. If you would like to make a gift to another area, please indicate this when making your gift.

Johns Hopkins University

Philanthropy is the bedrock of this institution. It's how we started. It's how we have grown. And it's how we will continue to thrive.

Johns Hopkins owes its very existence and its global prominence to generations of philanthropic visionaries and a tradition of giving that goes back to our founder himself.

Johns Hopkins remarkable $7 million gift, the largest on record at the time, changed higher education and medical philanthropy, and in so doing, changed our world.

Johns Hopkins didn’t simply dream of a better world. He funded it.

Through the generations, hundreds of thousands of alumni and friends have taken up the

103 example set by this 19th century American philanthropist, furthered his vision, and built one of the most powerful engines for positive change on the planet.

This interplay of ideas and investment is the lifeblood that has animated our university and hospitals. It has kindled our capacity to investigate and inspire, to educate and to heal, and push the boundaries of inquiry.

See the impact of philanthropy at Johns Hopkins in a short film called "A Remarkable Journey."

Please make a gift to Johns Hopkins today and begin to transform the world. Give online.

At Johns Hopkins we discover, we teach, we heal, and we serve our communities — the community in which we live and work, and our larger global community. Our discoveries and teaching trigger advances in patient care and public service. The needs of our patients and communities drive our research and teaching. Everything we learn, discover, and invent, we share we the world.

In order to do this, Johns Hopkins must attract the best students and faculty, bringing them together and encouraging them in every way possible to tackle the most difficult, most pressing problems confronting the world. We must also have classrooms and research labs, library buildings, and student housing: a complete physical infrastructure to support the pioneering work done daily across the Johns Hopkins campuses.

Support for Student Financial Aid

When assigned a problem to solve, students at other universities may search to see what has been written before. At Johns Hopkins, students start with a blank piece of paper.

The stellar reputation of Johns Hopkins’ academic programs and faculty attracts exceptional students to all our schools. Scholarship support has an immediate impact—signaling to applicants and current students that Johns Hopkins is as committed to their scholarly success as they are. But it also has a far-reaching effect, providing a promise to future generations that academic merit is the only criterion by which they will be judged.

Support for Faculty

Johns Hopkins’ excellence rests on our ability to attract and retain outstanding professors who are leaders in their fields—individuals who teach and mentor students; are actively engaged in scholarship and discovery; and apply their expertise to the practice of their disciplines, from medicine to business to international affairs. We seek to provide our young investigators with startup funds and our established faculty with the stability of endowed professorships and the tools they need for both research and teaching.

Support for Facilities

Archimedes spoke of needing only a lever and a place to stand to move the world. New and renovated facilities on all our campuses will provide Hopkins people with both.

104 Our patient care rooms are equipped with technology to allow clinicians to test and diagnose on-site, and our classrooms are equipped to offer faculty and students instant access to the right tools and resources. These advancements, among others, are proof that every lab, practice space, and classroom has been built as a tool as much as a workspace.

We are building labs, libraries, and learning spaces that will free our faculty and students to do their best work. And our new medical facilities will give clinicians every advantage in their battles against disease and give patients every resource to speed their recovery.

Support for Research and Academic Programs

What is discovered in our labs, created in our practice rooms, and learned in our classrooms is shared with the world.

On every continent and in every time zone, you’ll find Johns Hopkins people at work: They are reconstituting K–12 schools around America, treating malaria and training midwives in developing countries, developing new techniques in our surgical suites, uncovering the mysteries of history at archaeological digs, and remediating the impact of pollutants in our waterways. In fact, they are even working out of this world: Johns Hopkins scientists are unraveling the cosmological clues to the nature of our universe, while Hopkins engineers are probing the outer reaches of our solar system.

Deans' and Directors' Priorities

Support provides university leadership with the ability to nimbly respond to urgent challenges and to invest in unanticipated opportunities. This funding is current-use, which enables deans and directors to provide support where it is needed, when it is needed - funding everything from novel faculty research projects to programs designed to improve the student life experience.

See the impact of philanthropy at Johns Hopkins in a short film called "A Remarkable Journey."

Anyone who knows Johns Hopkins knows a thing or two about our students, faculty, alumni, and friends.

Johns Hopkins is a community of knowledge seekers. We're a group of people who aren't satisfied with ―good enough.‖ There’s even a ―Hopkins type‖ if you will: thoughtful, curious, and a little impatient with the status quo.

Our students, teachers, researchers, and clinicans are supported by a worldwide network of friends and alumni, men and women who give but who also volunteer their time and serve as ambassadors for Johns Hopkins. In a very real sense, the achievements of Johns Hopkins are their achievements. Our successes are theirsuccesses.

Among the hundreds of examples of philanthropy in action we could cite, here are a few examples of Hopkins pioneers pushing frontiers, from music to medicine, from West Baltimore to WSince 1876, The Johns Hopkins University has been determined to not just create, but also deliver, knowledge for the world.

105

From cracking the genetic code for breast cancer to exploring the ocean floor, from unearthing ancient Egyptian ruins to examining international policy, our community of knowledge seekers asks big questions and tackles bold challenges. Financial support allows Johns Hopkins to continue to expand the frontiers of understanding, deliver the benefits of discovery, promote health and well-being, care for the ill, and make the world a safer and better place in which to live.

Johns Hopkins depends on annual, private gift dollars to maintain and enhance its tradition of excellence for the university and medicine. The dollars raised provide top-quality education, research, and patient care.

Donors can designate their gift to any school, program, department, or project at Johns Hopkins.

All of the university’s academic divisions and The Johns Hopkins Hospital depend on annual gifts, which are spent in the year they are given. Your support provides a level of flexibility that is necessary for innovation to thrive.

MIT

Article IX. Annual Fund

The Association shall sponsor the solicitation and collection of an Annual Fund each year for the benefit of the Institute. The solicitation and collection of such Annual Fund shall be the only general solicitation of funds from alumni/ae on an annual basis and shall be conducted as prescribed in the Bylaws.

Thousands of alumni volunteers work directly with the Association and the Institute and many more support MIT through donations to the Annual Fund. Volunteer opportunities range from contributing as a class or club officer, joining the Educational Council, to serving on the MIT Corporation.

Annual participation in giving is powerful proof of an institution’s greatness—and its worthiness of support.

The Office of Foundation Relations works with MIT’s senior officers, deans, faculty, and administrative staff to secure philanthropic support for educational and research initiatives across the Institute. In fiscal year 2008, foundation support amounted to $128.5M, or 39.9 percent of all new gifts and pledges, and is essential to all five Schools—the arts and humanities as well as science, engineering, and management.

MIT’s mission is education and research, and much of the innovative work that is done here would not be possible without philanthropic support—including the support of foundations. Some examples:

. MIT’s OpenCourseWare initiative, which publishes virtually all of the Institute’s course materials on the World Wide Web, would not have become a reality without the generous support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. . The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation regularly enables teams of MIT faculty to conduct comprehensive studies of entire industries, and to disseminate these results widely.

. The Carnegie Corporation of New York is supporting the iLabs project, which brings access to online laboratories to universities in three sub-Saharan countries: Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania. . A grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation will enable the MIT Center for Future Civic Media to study how different forms of media can foster civic engagement and reinforce geographic communities. . The Doris Duke Foundation is making it possible for researchers at the MIT Industrial Performance Center to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the energy technology innovation system in the United States. 107 Other innovative projects include: the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s support of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, for a study to measure the effectiveness of school-based strategies to prevent HIV/AIDS among rural youth in Kenya; and the Charles Hayden Foundation’s support for MIT’s STEM summer program, which allows Cambridge and Boston middle school students to become immersed in science and math.

These are a few recent examples of how foundations can make a vital difference in MIT’s capacity to share and advance knowledge more widely. Many of the Institute’s innovative programs and projects would not become reality without far-reaching foundation support.

MIT is fortunate to have an extremely talented and committed group of alumni across the country and around the world, who give their time, talent, and energy to help raise funds to support the Institute. We depend on the strong base provided by these generous volunteers

There are significant tax benefits associated with many kinds of gifts to MIT. If you have already benefited from the immediate tax deductions offered by donor-advised funds, you should know that MIT is an IRS-qualified public charity, and thus is eligible to receive contributions from your gift fund. Please follow the instructions provided by your fund regarding minimum contribution, the process for recommending grants, etc.

There are several ways to make your gift to the Institute. Many donors prefer the ease and convenience of using our secure online gift form. But you may also choose to give to MIT by mail, phone, or fax; by electronic funds transfer; or by bank wire transfer.

Can I designate my gift for a specific purpose? Yes! We encourage you to direct your gift to a program that is meaningful to you. Learn about the Institute’s top fundraising priorities, as well as the many other areas that can benefit from your support.

The MIT Annual Fund is the annual solicitation effort conducted by the MIT Alumni Association, and is similar to the annual funds operated by other philanthropic organizations. The Annual Fund campaign runs annually from July 1 to June 30. Each year, the Fund credits the first $100,000 of any gift from all alumni for any purpose. Total gifts to MIT over the course of the year, thus, far exceed the dollars reported in the Fund. Other components of the MIT Annual Fund include gifts from non-alumni parents; gifts from widows, widowers, and other friends; and corporate matching gifts.

Gifts to all purposes are included in the MIT Annual Fund. Alumni may designate their gifts however they choose, but most elect to support one or more of MIT’s top fundraising priorities—such as unrestricted giving, the Campaign for Students, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), theDavid H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, or global initiatives.. Other popular areas of support include Schools or academic departments, and class projects.

MIT is a place of extraordinary interactions. It’s a setting where people and ideas come together in new ways—illuminating mysteries, making sparks fly, and fostering intellectual breakthroughs. But these extraordinary interactions need a strong financial foundation. We will rely on the support of our alumni and friends as we work to strengthen the Institute’s work—and defend its leadership position—in these key areas:

108 Unrestricted giving: Simply put, an unrestricted gift is the most important contribution you can make to MIT. Unrestricted gifts help maintain the extraordinary depth and breadth of our intellectual endeavors. Just as important, they give the Institute the ability to respond quickly to emerging opportunities. The Campaign for Students: MIT’s students—graduate and undergraduate alike—define not only what the Institute is today, but also what it can be tomorrow. And right now, MIT is focusing on what those students need most: undergraduate financial aid, graduate fellowships, new educational initiatives, and expanded student life programs and opportunities. MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI): The scope of the world’s energy problems calls for a comprehensive portfolio of responses to environmental, economic, scientific, security, and political issues. To address problems of this scale, the work must be done on all fronts. Under MITEI, Institute researchers are fast at work on that portfolio, with an interdisciplinary plan to address energy needs in both the short- and the long-term. The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research (KI) grows out of MIT’s proven strengths in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and immunology. But what makes this new enterprise so unique is the integral role that MIT’s engineering powerhouse plays. MIT’s global initiatives take place on nearly every continent, and transpire at many levels— from individual faculty collaborations to institutional partnerships. And, they materialize in many forms—from teaching and research, to internships and work, to public service and outreach efforts.

Planned gifts include trusts, gift annuities, and bequests. When you contribute to a trust or gift annuity, you and/or your beneficiaries will receive payments for life or for a pre- specified term of years. This is an attractive option for donors who are looking for ways to provide an annual income to someone over the age of 55, while still making a substantial gift to MIT. Bequests allow donors to help MIT in the long term, while still retaining the assets during their lifetimes. All types of planned gifts provide considerable tax advantages.

All gifts, in all forms, are important to MIT. They validate and support all aspects of the Institute’s work.

And, say our donors, giving to MIT is a two-way street. Donors tell us that they feel good about helping a world-class institution—or changing a student’s life, or changing the course of history—while deriving tax benefits, advancing retirement planning, and accomplishing many other worthy purposes. The form that your particular gift takes should reflect your specific needs and circumstances. Keep in mind that in all cases—no matter whether you make a gift of cash, stock, or some other asset—your gift can be directed to any area of the Institute that is of particular interest to you.

PRINCETON University

Every gift to Annual Giving from alumni, parents, and friends, whatever its size, makes a valuable and immediate difference to Princeton. Annual Giving is at the core of the tradition of giving back that connects Princetonians of every class and era.

Gifts to Annual Giving allow Princeton to provide extraordinary opportunities for learning and discovery; to extend the financial aid program to every student who needs it; and to help meet emerging needs and challenges. These unrestricted funds give Princeton the flexibility to undertake critical new initiatives such as developing the neuroscience program and

109 attracting world-renowned faculty before a permanent endowment for the program is fully in place.

Annual Giving: Job One Since 1940, Annual Giving has been a vital source of institutional momentum for Princeton, and the primary way for all alumni, parents, and friends to help sustain the special features that set Princeton apart. The success of Annual Giving and the spirit of shared experience and mutual encouragement that brings together Princetonians of all generations are essential to Princeton’s enduring excellence.

Annual Giving and the Aspire Campaign For the five-year-period beginning in 2007 and ending in 2012, Princeton is seeking to raise a total of $1.75 billion through a University-wide campaign entitled Aspire: A Plan for Princeton. Annual Giving is a vital part of the effort – in fact, the campaign’s first priority – and will be striving to provide at least $250 million over this five-year period.

The Parents Fund is Princeton’s annual fundraising effort from the parents of current Princeton students and alumni. For more than sixty years, Princeton parents have helped sustain and enhance the Princeton experience. The Parents Fund, as part of Annual Giving, helps support the distinctive qualities that set Princeton apart from other colleges and universities. Independent work, Freshmen Seminars, library and computing resources, a world-class faculty, and the comprehensive financial aid policy are just a few ways that Annual Giving makes a difference at Princeton.

Parents Make a Difference Annual Giving plays a crucial role in the University’s renowned financial aid program. Currently, about 60 percent of Princeton’s undergraduate student body receives financial aid. This year, the annual cost for tuition, room, board, and fees is $52,180 per student. Because the true cost of a Princeton education is about twice this figure, students who pay full tuition cover less than half the cost of their education. Unrestricted gifts to the Parents Fund go directly into the operating budget and will continue to help fill that gap. Gifts to the Parents Fund can be made online, by phone, or by mail. Princeton also welcomes gifts of stock or securities or through a matching company. Volunteer for the Parents Committee Parent Committee volunteers are vital to Annual Giving’s yearly effort by helping to encourage fellow Princeton parents to join in supporting the University through time and philanthropy. They also participate in on-campus and regional events, as well as share their experiences as Princeton parents.

IRA Law Permits Tax-Free Distributions to Princeton Through December 2011.

You can give to Princeton in ways that satisfy both your financial and philanthropic goals.

Life Income Gifts (provide income for you or your family) ; Charitable Lead Trusts (allow you to transfer assets to your family tax-free); Real Estate Gifts (offer tax and other benefits).

Princeton manages more than $160 million in planned giving assets. The offices of Gift Planning and the Treasurer work with the Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO), the same organization that manages the University's endowment, to administer and invest life income gifts, charitable lead trusts, and real estate and other gifts that involve

110 more complex assets. Gift Planning staffers can meet with you to discuss a wide range of issues, including tax-wise philanthropy, the ins-and-outs of wealth transfers, and the strategic use of family foundations.

Gifts Sustain Traditions and Support Progress: Your gift to Princeton is essential to our ability to provide an extraordinary education. There are many ways to give, and we hope you will choose one that is meaningful to you. You can: Help fund Princeton's future. Gifts to Aspire: A Plan for Princeton will support key areas in Princeton's vision for the future: Engineering and a Sustainable Society; Exploration in the Arts; New Frontiers in Neuroscience; Citizenship and the World; and The Princeton Experience. Support current students and faculty. Unrestricted gifts from undergraduate and graduate alumni, parents, and friends go to work right away to help provide the "margin of excellence" that makes a Princeton education second to none. Annual Giving sustains and enhances the University's distinctive academic programs and brings together Princetonians, parents, and friends of all generations. It is also a vital part of the Aspire effort – in fact, the campaign’s first priority. Make a gift that benefits you and Princeton. Planned gifts and bequests count in the Aspire campaign. Gifts such as trusts and annuities strengthen the University and provide income to you or your family. You can also benefit Princeton through your will. Review and request sample bequest language, and be inspired by some great Princeton legacies. Honor a loved one. Whether through Annual Giving or a named scholarship or fellowship fund, an In Memoriam gift is a meaningful way to honor a friend or family member. Support a program that's important to you. Princeton's athletic teams, art museum, library, and other campus organizations depend on the support of Friends groups to sustain their excellence. Benefit Princeton when giving from the United Kingdom. United Kingdom taxpayers may give to Princeton through the Princeton Charitable Foundation Limited (PCFL), a charity registered in the UK, which provides tax benefits and increases gifts to Princeton. Build a partnership with Princeton. Princeton’s partnerships with corporations and foundations help transform theories and research that begin in classrooms and laboratories into real-world projects that can make a difference to society.

A charitable lead trust is a proven method for transferring assets to children or grandchildren, while sharply reducing gift and estate taxes. Here’s how charitable lead trusts work. Donors transfer assets of at least $250,000 to the trustee (Princeton or their preferred trust company). The trust pays an annual sum to the University for a term, typically 10 to 20 years. When the term ends, trust assets are transferred to the donor’s children or grandchildren. The payments to charity offset gift, estate, and generation-skipping taxes: the longer the trust term and the higher the charitable contributions, the lower the taxes due.

Many companies sponsor matching gift programs that will match contributions made to Princeton by their employees or their employees' spouses.

111 Gifts of securities offer significant tax advantages for alumni, parents, and friends and are easy to make.

Through trusts, annuities, and other vehicles, you can receive payments for life—and the satisfaction that Princeton, too, will benefit. Charitable Remainder Trust: Stocks, real estate, or other assets form the basis of a trust that is managed by Princeton and gives the donor, or anyone the donor designates, quarterly payments for life or a set period. The payment can be fixed or variable, and Princeton receives the balance—the ―charitable remainder‖—when the trust closes. Charitable Gift Annuity: This kind of annuity offers secure payments free from market risk for up to two individuals age 70 or older. Rates, which are determined by the recipient’s age, are fixed when the gift is given, and range from 5.8% to 9.5% of the gift amount. Pooled Income Fund These investment funds pool contributions from a number of donors, who, every quarter, receive their share of the income earned. Princeton offers two funds: the Income Fund, invested for current income, and the Tiger Fund, invested for long-term growth.

Giving a gift of real estate, such as a personal home, vacation home, undeveloped property, or a farm, can be a highly effective philanthropic and financial strategy.

Each of the following gift arrangements has distinct tax benefits, which our staff members would be happy to discuss with you:  Your property can fund a trust that makes payments back to you or someone you name.  You can choose to make an outright gift of real estate, which can be used for funding a professorship, endowing a scholarship, or other purposes.  If you are planning to sell your real estate, you can transfer ownership of an interest in the property to Princeton. After the sale, the University receives its share of the proceeds.  You can make a gift through a retained life estate arrangement, under which you give Princeton your home, but retain the right to live there for the rest of your life. You also receive a current income tax deduction.  The property that you contribute is removed from your taxable estate.

ALUMNI CENTER: One of the truly amazing facts about this building is that it is almost entirely funded by the generosity of Stanford alumni. The Stanford Alumni Association and Stanford University would like to thank the donors for their generous donations to the building of this wonderful new addition to the Stanford Campus. The list of donors is a familiar one because these alumni are regular donors to Stanford's core academic needs. These gifts were in addition to, not instead of, gifts to the central mission of the University and make the Alumni Center a building for alumni made possible by alumni. The donor recognition plaques throughout the building recognize their generosity. Donors to the Alumni Relations Endowment Fund: These alumni are regular donors to Stanford's core academic needs. Their gifts were in addition to, not instead of, gifts to the central mission of the University; they truly make the Alumni Center a building for alumni made possible by alumni.

123 YALE UNIVERSITY

Yale College Alumni Yale College alumni respond to Yale's diverse needs and challenges in a variety of ways:

Annual gifts provide immediately available current use funds that the University uses for day-to-day operations. From financial aid and faculty salaries to research and facilities maintenance, annual gifts are absolutely vital to Yale. Annual gifts provide immediately available current use funds that the Professional Schools use for everything from financial aid to research and departmental programs.

Reunion years prompt some alumni to make special gifts to the University above and beyond regular annual gifts to the Alumni Fund.

Capital gifts allow donors to direct sizable contributions toward specific University needs that match donor interests.

Planned gifts provide an opportunity for donors to structure long-term deferred gifts in ways that are beneficial both to the donor and to Yale.

Graduate School Alumni Students at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences are an integral part of Yale's strength as an institute for scholarly advancement and research. After graduation, graduate alumni/ae continue to support scholarly endeavors at Yale in a variety of ways: Annual gifts, Capital gifts and Planned gifts.

Alumni/ae are a key aspect of Yale's leadership in so many fields of endeavor. As colleagues, mentors, role models, and benefactors (at all levels), alumni/ae play an important part in the success of the Professional Schools.

The Association of Yale Alumni applauds the outstanding dedication and accomplishments of Yale’s many volunteers. Volunteers give of their time and their talent in so many ways, demonstrating that the best of Yale can be the best for Yale.

Reunions Rally for Students An incentive program for support of financial aid at Yale

In the final year of the Yale Tomorrow campaign, financial aid has emerged as a core fundraising priority. The combined effects of the decline in the endowment resulting from the global financial crisis and an increase in demand for financial aid by our students and their families have put significant pressure on the financial aid budget—with fewer resources available from the endowment at a time of rising student need. A few facts:

Student Profiles

. Nearly 56% of all undergraduates are receiving financial aid in 2010–2011, with awards averaging $35,400 per year. . More than 58% of the Yale College Class of 2014 is receiving financial aid, with an

124 average award of $35,658 per year. . Yale’s undergraduate financial aid budget for 2010–2011 is $108.5 million, up 75% from $62 million just three years ago (2007–2008). . Distribution from the endowment will cover only about 50% of the 2010–2011 budget. . The effects of the endowment decline have put similar pressure on the financial aid budgets in the graduate and professional schools.

Expressing the University’s continued commitment to financial aid—and to encourage increased giving to this critical priority—we are launching Reunions Rally for Students, a special incentive program for Yale College alumni.

The Incentives Donors will receive Campaign and Yale College Reunion Class credit for double the amount of their gift. (Please note that only the actual amount of the donor’s gift or gift intention will be counted in the reported Yale Tomorrow campaign total and entered in the donor’s record.). Eligible for this double credit are individual gifts and gift intentions of $250,000 or more to establish endowed financial aid funds at Yale. Gift intentions may be payable over up to five years. Gifts of $250,000 or more may be added to already established scholarship funds but will only receive program credit for the new gift or commitment. Gifts to establish irrevocable annuities or trusts are also eligible. Bequests and group gifts are not eligible.

Duration Gifts and gift intentions made between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011, are eligible.

Recognition

New scholarship funds created as part of the Reunions Rally for Students program may be named by the donor and the scholarship recipients will be recognized as [Fund Name] Scholars. Donors will receive annual reports on the students named to their scholarship funds (once $100,000 or more has been paid toward the gift intention). Donors to Reunions Rally for Students will be recognized in a special published honor roll at the close of the Yale Tomorrow campaign under the following giving levels.
