The Pay 4ward Triple Match is back this November for our fourth year!

As the holiday season approaches, you can give a gift now and make the maximum impact--your gift will automatically be matched 3 to 1!

This is all possible thanks to generous matching donors, including Pat and Jim Dietz (BS '69, MS '70, chemical engineering), Susan and Rob Savage (BS '83, industrial and systems engineering), and Tom and Lynn Davison (MS '75 computer & information science). Alumni from the last ten years are eligible for the match and that means all graduates since Dean Williams started his tenure in 2011 are eligible.
