Rensselaer Annual Fund

Rensselaer helped shape my career and character.  My annual contribution to the Rensselaer Fund is my vote of confidence in the vision and direction of the present administration to perpetuate the standard of excellence of my alma mater.”

Robert G. Albern ’54

I am happy to contribute to the Annual Fund and to be involved with Rensselaer.  With RPI's financial assistance, I was the first in my family to attend college.  I appreciate the value of my education and the opportunities it continues to provide.  It's important to me to help today's students attend my alma mater and become well-rounded technological leaders.”

“Contributing to the Rensselaer Annual Fund allows me to stay connected to my alma mater. Giving back to Rensselaer is important to me because I want to support the next generation of Rensselaer alumni. It makes me feel good to know that the Rensselaer Annual Fund will help young talented minds have the opportunity to attend RPI and give them the right tools to make a difference in this ever-changing world.”

Jessie T. Lam99

“I have been a Patroon-level contributor to the Annual Fund for more than twenty years.  Every once in a while I'll be asked why.  For me the answer is simple:  Of all things, the Annual Fund is the vehicle that most directly supports the students who are now attending RPI.  I can think of no better use to which my charitable contributions can be put.”

Michael Wellner ’64

“The primary reason I contribute to the Rensselaer Annual fund is that I have gained a lot from Rensselaer. I received an excellent education, but more than that, the reputation of Rensselaer within the engineering and technical community makes it easy for me to establish my credentials. Having gained so much from Rensselaer, I feel that giving back to the Institute and contributing to its growth and success is the right thing to do."
