Dear Stanford Engineering Alumni and Friends,

Every year, Stanford Engineering relies on gifts to the Engineering Fund from alumni and friends to sustain and enrich our programs. These gifts create a foundation of flexible support for the school's outstanding students, faculty, programs, and facilities.

During The Stanford Challenge, we are especially focused on this important priority. A gift to the Engineering Fund is a meaningful way for everyone to participate in the campaign—alumni as well as friends of the school who have an interest in engineering at Stanford.

The Engineering Fund is critical to the school's financial health. The unrestricted nature of the fund allows us to use it where it is needed most: to advance priority programs, solve short-term problems, or provide seed funding for outside-the-box ideas. In our effort to respond to the constantly changing landscape of engineering research and education, all gifts—regardless of size—are greatly valued.

We deeply appreciate this support, and we hope you will strengthen your partnership with Stanford Engineering by making a gift today. Thank you for considering a gift to the Engineering Fund.

	Sincerely,
	James D. Plummer The Frederick Emmons Terman   Dean of the School of Engineering
