Building a crucial resource
Raghu Sugavanam, MS ’78, and Madhumathy Sugavanam have established a $100,000 challenge to encourage increased support for the McKelvey School of Engineering Dean’s Annual Fund for Engineering Excellence.
The Annual Fund is a driving force that makes McKelvey’s research excellence and education possible. This flexible resource enhances strengths in research and innovation, augments our approach to education to meet the evolving needs of our students, provides outstanding co-curricular programs, and expands the impact our school has on society.
Your support of the Annual Fund provides the ability to invest in experiential learning, scholarships, faculty research, and more.
How the challenge works
- The Sugavanam Family Challenge will match renewed Eliot Society memberships for gifts of $1,000 or more to the Dean’s Annual Fund for Engineering Excellence.
- The challenge will also provide a 2-to-1 match for all new, increased, or multiyear commitments at the Eliot Society level.
| Your gift | Match provides | |
|---|---|---|
| Renewed membership | $1 | $1 |
| New or increased membership | $1 | $2 |
As an alumnus, National Council member, and the parent of a current engineering student, I know how important Annual Fund support is for McKelvey Engineering. We are dedicated to helping the school secure the resources needed to transform the world. We know the power of community, and we are incredibly grateful to all those who make WashU a success!
