5/22    Dear Motd,

        Time is running out to earn the $100,000 GOLD Challenge Match...

        Berkeley Engineering is counting on you to make a gift of $25 before
        June 15. If 1,000 grads ('96 - '05) make gifts, the College will earn
        $100,000. That's 100 grads from each class. We still need 44 grads
        from the class of 1996 (your class) to reach the goal!

        You can learn more about why making a gift is so important at
        http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/giving While you are there you can also give
        online and help your class beat the challenge.

        Visit http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/giving/GOLD to see if your class is
              \_ 404
        leading the way.

        Thank you and Go Bears!

           Looks like the dot-com grads are also the stingiest.
        \_ our of curiosity, if I did my BS, MS, and PhD at UCB, which class
           should I consider myself part of? (95, 98, or 04?) Or all 3?
           \_ Doing anything interesting with all those years of education?
             \_ switched to a different (but still technology-related) field
                (patent law) after finishing - it's been quite entertaining so
                far.  Will see where it all goes...
                \_ Are you one of those people afraid to work and so you
                   will be 50, living at home, and working on your
                   4th PhD?
                   \_ No thanks, I'm done with school, no more PhDs for me!
                      One was more than enough.  And I'm working now,
                      not going to school! (thank goodness)
        \_ Where does the extra $100K come from?  And the requirement is
           that 100 distinct grads from each class make a >= $25
           donation (i.e., one grad from each class making a $2500
           donation is insufficient)?

        (from high $200 all the way down to $80). I dumped a few and
        still have a few. Why the hell is Reid Hastings still making
        $500,000/year? How do I join the pending NFLX Class Action

An exciting opportunity - Double the size of your gift to the College! A Berkeley alumnus and his company, Foxconn, will generously match all Dean's Society level gifts of $2,500 and above up to $200,000 received from now until June 30, 2006. Your gift at this level would have a huge impact - but gifts of every size make a difference.
