Thoughts on giving to Tech "The importance of good classroom teaching and turning out well-taught students can often be overlooked. My gifts to Tech reward excellent teaching and help raise the status of senior faculty members committed to the role of teaching undergraduates. Charitable gift annuities, and the income I receive from them, were the best way for me to make a substantial, enduring gift while preserving my resources."
