As a class project for our 40th Reunion, we set an aggressive goal of doubling the aggregate donations to our two class endowments to $820,000. Thanks to you, we did that!

For our 45th Reunion in 2027, we established a more modest five-year goal to increase our aggregate donations to $1 million. We are currently at $924,344 and have secured matching commitments from classmates for another $100,000 between now and the next reunion. With your continued generosity, we should easily blow through that $1 million target. 

The Science 1982 Fund generates income to enhance the Smith Engineering student experience by investing in equipment, programs, or projects. These are often student-run extracurricular initiatives. The current Fund balance is $650,985 and generates an annual income of approximately $27,280. The Science 1982 Fund has recently supported mental health and wellness initiatives throughout the faculty. To date, the largest investment of Fund income was the $70,000 renovation of the student-run Tea Room.

The Science 1982 Award generates income to grant awards to individual students. The Award may be for financial need or academic performance, depending upon the needs of the faculty. The current fund balance is $273,359 and generates an annual income of approximately $9,450. Since its creation at our 25th Reunion, the Science 1982 Award has disbursed over $51,000 to 24 students.
