Volunteers When it comes to fundraising
for MIT, it is volunteers who make it happen.
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.
Volunteer commitment
Alumni are vital ambassadors for MIT
“I wish more alumni could see MIT now, because it’s changed
so much since we were there,” says Anne Hou ’83. “If
they could see all the innovative work going on, they’d want to
be part of it, too.”
Hou is one of countless alumni volunteers across the country and the
world who gave their time and energy to help The Campaign for MIT reach
its $2 billion goal. “The Campaign was great,” she says. “It
made possible the expansion of the physical campus, the focus on student
life and learning, and wonderful new programs in nanotechnology and brain
and cognitive sciences.”
“I view MIT as a labor of love,” says Mark Gorenberg ’76,
who became involved with MIT a decade ago.
“Being involved has been great,” he says, adding that by
giving, he is actually the one who is receiving. “I’ve gained
by meeting amazing people and by learning so much. It’s been great
to stay on top of new advances changing the world and to get a glimpse
of what life will be like in the future. To be connected to MIT, has
been for me a huge reward.”
