"I believe that by taking a role in the Senior Gift Committee I will be able to give back to the institution in a very defined way.  Reaching out and connecting with the entire senior class is an immense project, but one thing that I have learned at this institution is the ability to rise up to a challenge and tackle it head on."

"I joined the Senior Gift Challenge since, as a person who’s never donated money to the Institute before, I wanted to help in my last year and encourage others to do the same. MIT has shown me that much is required of a person in my position, and I plan to rise to the occasion by doing my utmost to help where I can."
