Dear Alumni and Friends,

It is a special pleasure to thank you for your continued support during the 2005-2006 fiscal year. The University of South Florida Engineering Fund and your annual contributions to the College allow the Dean and department chairs to provide extraordinary opportunities for our faculty and students. Your gifts provide direct support for:

• laboratory and classroom exercises
• equipment and materials not available through state-appropriated funds
• topical seminars and prominent guest lecturers
• travel to attend competitions for our many student organizations, and
• academic and research opportunities for students, faculty, and staff

Your annual gifts provide the margin above basic state funding that enables the College of Engineering to excel over its peers and reach toward its goal of being one of the top-ranked engineering programs in the country. The college is deeply appreciative of our Bull Engineering family for your interest and investment in the ideas, beliefs, and people who form this outstanding institution. The college is committed to continue its strides toward excellence in order to enhance the quality and reputation of the programs that you have come to respect at the University of South Florida.

The development team is available to assist you with any questions about gifts to the College of Engineering to aid its quest to develop new processes, materials, and knowledge. On behalf of the college, departments, faculty, and students, we thank you sincerely for your gifts.

With appreciation,

Edward M. Kominowski

Executive Director of Development
