<div>Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you make a Campus Campaign pledge, no matter how small, please consider these development funds. GRASP supports</div>
<div>our annual camps aimed at middle school girls and improving the pipeline. Due to department budget cuts, this program</div>
<div>relies on fees and donations almost entirely. And lots of enthusiastic volunteers. The Caren endowment fund supports our </div>
<div>undergraduate summer research scholarship. We try to fund all good projects but the endowed funds are not enough to</div>
<div>even sustain our current numbers. And research experience is invaluable to our undergraduates majors. Finally,</div>
<div>the Senior Alumni Fund provides a cash award to an outstanding senior year physics major. While this is a small fund, </div>
<div>years in <span style="font-size: 10pt;">which we have two or more truly outstanding students (a "problem" we increasingly face) benefit greatly from the</span></div>
<div>small donations to this fund. For reference:</div>
