    <p>Case in point? Just today, a group of our Information Technology and Engineering alumni <a href="https://umbc.givecorps.com/projects/1417-annual-giving-causes-it-engineering-happy-hour-fundraiserc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">raised enough money to fund a student scholarship</a>. They decided to shoot for $1,600, and they raised 105% of that goal with two days left in their campaign.</p>
    <p>As they say, the proof is in the pudding. This is one story among many of the generosity of our alumni and the ways in which they change UMBC for the better each year.</p>
    <p>As our fiscal year comes to a close today, this demonstration of support is especially timely. Gifts made now will have the most immediate impact on our students as we get to work planning for an amazing new school year.</p>
