Dear Friend of Technique,

As I'm sure you would agree, MIT is a place of fascination, frustration, and intensity; but whichever way you experience it, life at the world's premiere technical institution is definitely memorable. Technique 2010 captures the stories of the Institute and the students who live and work in its corridors. More than a mere documentary, Technique tells the tale of student life from many perspectives. Our book showcases award-winning photography, graphic design, and poignant writing from a talented and diverse sampling of MIT students, in an overall effort to capture the essence of MIT life. It is more than a yearbook: it is a piece of art.

Technique is produced entirely by students. We strive to make the book as inexpensive as possible in order to make it as accessible as possible: the book is sold at its publication cost. We thus rely heavily on the support of donors to publish, as we currently receive none of our regular funding from the Institute.

Please consider becoming a Patron of Technique 2010: help us to continue our long tradition of quality and service to the MIT community. In addition to our masterwork annual publication, Technique is also MIT's de facto photography club, and we take campus-wide initiatives to promote the art and science of photography at MIT. It's our Patrons' generosity that allows for Technique's photographers to expose and develop almost a half-mile of film each year, and record almost one hundred thousand digital images. We are also a magnet for talent in graphic design and other artistry, and provide them with the resources they need to shine.

As a Patron, your name will appear in a special section of the book, and you will receive a complimentary copy of Technique 2010. Platinum, Gold, and Silver Patrons will receive an additional gift in gratitude for their support, a mounted print. In the US and some nations, donations are tax deductible above the book price. You may select your Patron status on the order form.

MIT is a world-class institution, and Technique 2010 is a worthy counterpart:
Enjoy it with pleasure and display it with pride.

Thank you for your support,

The Staff of Technique 2010
