Honor Roll of Supporters

Dear Friends, Imagine the impact your generosity is having on College of Engineering students, funding transformative experiences like these: • Ryan Cruz (ME‘13/Energy) and three GSM students won first place for energy efficiency and a $20,000 prize at the MIT Clean Energy Competition for their business plan for a company that reduces energy consumption in large commercial buildings. • Inspiration Ambassadors such as Brad Berk (CE’13) mentored Boston public school students for three years—inspiring many to pursue engineering—and launched a startup. • Members of the Society of Women Engineers such as Kayla Kruper (ME’12) attended the SWE National Conference in Chicago, where they networked, interviewed, shared tips with other undergraduate women and landed job offers. • David Harris, David Sindel (both ME’15/Aero) and Drew Kelley (CE’14), leaders of the BU Rocket Propulsion Group, are preparing to launch a two-stage, 35-foot hybrid rocket into space and then recover the rocket and its payload. • Konstantinos Oikonomopoulos and Lanke Fu (both ME’14), won first prize at the second Imagineering Competition for their automatic transmissionenhanced Smart Bike. I hope you will savor reflecting on the accomplishments of such outstanding and ambitious students, whose educations you are enriching through your generosity. Again—for the sixth consecutive year—you broke records for ENG annual giving and the number of leadership donors ($1,000 and up). And again, graduating seniors led the way, with over 50 percent contributing to the Senior Class Gift! Thanks, seniors, for showing your leadership! The results get even better: total philanthropy by alumni and parents, corporations and foundations—including major gifts and grants to the College—continues to grow dramatically. And in just three years, the Engineering Capital Campaign has received more than $44 million toward its $60 million goal! Some highlights: • Ron Garriques (ME’86) made a seven-figure pledge and John Tegan (MFG’88) committed $250,000 to the Engineering Product Innovation Center (EPIC). • Procter & Gamble and PTC made substantial pledges to EPIC, for which PTC also committed design software valued at nearly $19 million! • Joe Healey (BME’88) pledged $500,000 and Adel Al-Saleh (EE’87) committed $100,000 to the Societal Engineering Fund. • Francis “Skip” Harrington, Jr. (Aero’70,’72) pledged $100,000 for a Century Challenge scholarship. • The Kern Family Foundation committed more than $420,000 to teach entrepreneurship. Generosity like yours makes a huge difference in the lives of undergraduates and makes the College’s quantum leap in excellence possible, from a dramatic increase in the number of applicants (which has doubled in three years) to prestigious international faculty awards to top-40 recognition in the U.S. News & World Report’s survey of US engineering graduate programs. Thanks for jumping aboard and joining this adventure. I promise you will enjoy it! My warmest thanks,

Bruce Jordan, Assistant Dean for Development & Alumni Relations P.S. I hope to see you at our events in the year ahead, when we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the College of Engineering!
