Computer Science Department Gift Funds
Ralph Grove
Gift Money Committee Chair
Here's an update on
what's been happening with
contributions to the
Computer Science Department
over the last year or so.
First of all, many thanks to
all of you who contributed,
both corporate contributors
and personal contributors.
Your support enriches our
program by providing
equipment and support for
activities that wouldn't
otherwise be possible.
As of the end of the
Spring 1998 semester, the
fund balances were as
follows.
Restricted account: $32,655
Endowment account: $10,656
HET Scholarship account: $14,123
The Restricted account is a
general income account,
where all contributions
except those designated for
the HET scholarship are
deposited. In plain terms,
it is our general income
account. The Endowment
account generates interest,
which goes back into the
restricted account. The
Howard E.Tompkins
scholarship account provides
one scholarship per year to
a female junior-level
student.
Expenditures in the
past year included funding
for a variety of events.
25th Anniversary celebration $5,000
(The CS Dept is 25!)
New laser printer for lab $1,900
Refreshments for meetings,
recruiting, etc. $1,060
Programming team travel $ 599
Gifts to donors $ 353
Recruiting activities $ 51
For the coming year,
the Gift Money Committee is
proposing a change to the
way in which contributions
are handled. More account
categories would be
involved. This change will
be presented to the entire
faculty for approval in the
fall. Expect an update on
the proposal in the Fall
issue of The Debugger.
