凯特林饲养员知道 每个礼物都很重要
给正规的赌博app做礼物 对于豪尔赫·霍卡西塔斯(2013年，CE)来说，这是一个显而易见的选择。.
作为凯特林守护者项目的一部分, Horcasitas began giving $5 a month to the Kettering LEADERS Fellowship Fund in 2014. 他最近把他的礼物增加到每月10美元.
“I think the biggest thing is it doesn’t matter how much you donate,他说.
Kettering Keepers is a program for alumni who wish to make a gift of at least $5 a month to the University. The program’s goal is to make philanthropy more accessible for all, especially young people.
“What makes it unique is donors have a choice regarding what to support and how much to give,安娜·迪特里希说, 年度捐赠部助理主任. “Every dollar counts, and with Kettering Keepers, participants know their support matters.”
Horcasitas supports the LEADERS fund because the program significantly impacted him during his time as an undergraduate. The program offered retreats, discussion forums, networking and leadership development. He said he likes to give to something that improves the Kettering student experience.
“It’s not tuition; it’s not co-op; it’s an extra thing, so that was important to me to make sure it’s funded to provide better experiences to students,他说. “It helps coordinate trips to the LeaderShape Institute, 哪一个是参与的好机会. LEADERS provides various opportunities throughout the year to network across A- and B-Section while fostering an excellent environment to talk about different visions Kettering students have to improve the communities they live in. How do we better ourselves, our community, our careers and the folks around us? 对我来说，支持这项倡议是不需要动脑筋的.”
阿什利·韦伯(19岁), 业务), participating in Kettering Keepers is her way of staying connected to the University after graduation.
“I think it’s easy to fall off and lose that connection to campus if you don’t do activities like that,”她说。.
Her gift goes to the Women Helping Women scholarship fund.
“We do know women in STEM are still a skewed percentage of people in programs and the workforce,韦伯说.
She said the relationships she built with other women on campus were like a sisterhood. There’s a special connection when she meets other alumnae in the workforce who went through similar experiences.
“I also want to inspire the next generation,韦伯说. “I think women have a special place in STEM and manufacturing.”
像Horcasitas, she encourages graduates to think about what they got from their experiences and how they can pay it forward.
“There’s a lot that went into your programs and your education,韦伯说. “I think if you benefited from something, it is good to pay it back for future students.”
Also recognizing that others’ generosity helped him attend Kettering, 霍卡西塔斯想为其他人做同样的事情.
“想想你从大学里得到了什么, especially the things that are extracurricular and not part of the typical co-op or school experience, and think about how much better it could have been if it was better-funded,霍卡西塔斯说. “Someone who donates doesn’t have to give thousands of dollars; it could be a couple of hundred a year or $5 or $10 a month.”
他知道上学对一些人来说很贵, but he said graduates should consider what they’ve accomplished with their education and give back.
Without the LEADERS program, Horcasitas said he may not have gotten his first job. He was able to make connections that led to a letter of recommendation that helped him land his first full-time role after graduation.
“Being around other like-minded individuals who are interested in leadership development, doing that on your own is very different from being around others,他说. “I probably wouldn’t be as successful as I am now without a program like LEADERS.”
Horcasitas, 谷歌的项目经理, plans to increase his gift in the future and look into the company’s employee match program. Eventually, he said he’d like to set up a fund or scholarship.
韦伯, a program manager at tooling and industrial materials supplier Kennametal, also plans to increase her gift as she progresses in her career.
“凯特林一直在成长, and we want to make sure the students after us have an even better experience than we had there,”她说。. “I think it’s important to stay involved and Kettering’s legacy continues to grow.”
