Topic Reading-Vol.1182-7/7/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Big boost for Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS)
Harvard University is known as one of the most prominent and prestigious universities in the US and the world. It has produced numbers of entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mike Zuckerberg to name a few as well as leaders and executives in global or promising corporations.
It is also known for its premium tuition. Though many of the students have access to variety of financial aid programs, they still have to pay or owe a lot.
But what makes the university stand out the most is the huge endowment from its graduates. They are campaigning to raise 6.5 billion now and has already raised over five billion. And this newly donated staggering 400 million by one of its MBA graduates seems to ensure the success of the campaign. The amount of this generous donation by a single person is the record high even in Harvard’s 379-year history.
Enjoy reading and learning about this generosity and investment for future engineering and technology.
