Supporting higher educat ion isn’t a new idea.
Millions of people make contributions; so do hundi-eds of
companies.
But in today’s tough economic climate colleges need more
support than ever. Funds for bricks and mortar aren’t enough.
Colleges need help in prepar ing students to succeed in this
technological age—both on campus and in the work for ce.
That requires funds for new computer-related courses
and high-technology programs in management, engineering
and science. This kind of support enriches the curriculum for all
students, including those in liberal arts.
1BM contributed more than $82 million to hundreds of schools
last year; some of them represented here. Our "2 to 1” Matching
Grant Program generated another $12 million: $4 million from
our employees was matched by $8 million from IBM.
Education is important to all of us. We all depend on the
students, and the ideas, coming out of America’s colleges and
universities. It’s only fair that they can depend on us. ===== =
