Why did you give to The Northeastern Fund?

My main motivation to give to the school was to pay something back to Northeastern. My education at Northeastern is responsible for a lot of what I've accomplished in my life. I thought it was an opportunity to give back.

To which school/college or program did you designate your gift?

My gift was to the general Northeastern Fund, but what really prompted me to make a donation was rumors of the football program being dropped*. I was involved in the program and I just wanted to do what I could to help keep it going.

How would you like to see your gift utilized?

I absolutely loved Northeastern while I was there and I still feel a great deal of affection for the school. I'd like to see my gift used to improve the school as a whole, academically as well as athletics.

What would you say to a fellow alumnus/a who is considering making a gift to The Northeastern Fund?

Give as much as you can. It doesn't matter where the money goes. Northeastern was such a great experience for me - as I'm sure it was for a lot of people. I just think giving back was the right thing to do.

*After a comprehensive review of Northeastern's athletic programs, Athletic Director Peter Roby announced on February 19 that the university will "continue to support a full complement of intercollegiate programs." A recommendation was made for the formation of a fundraising drive to benefit all 19 men's and women's varsity sports. View the full story
