Advance Technology
CMS builds upon a long history of industry collaborations; in fact, our faculty include founders and board members of technology companies created as a result of their research. You can help us impact the world by speeding up technology transfer: private donors and technology leaders (as well as companies who subscribe to our Corporate Affiliates Program) come to us to learn about our research, to recruit talented graduate students, and to explore collaborations with our faculty who thrive to innovate solutions with real-world impact. By providing access to bleeding-edge results and an exceptionally talented student body, CMS offers an exciting environment for you to tap into.
Support
You can also support the department and accelerate the pace of innovation by making unrestricted gifts or creating a named endowment for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. These young scholars are a crucial part of the CMS fabric, and they go on to hold influential positions the world over. Support for education in the form of gifts or endowments is also crucial to help us maintain the high quality environment we thrive to offer to our students. Finally, annual fund gifts are crucial to help us today while we build our endowments for the future.
Every gift matters! Generosity of friends and alumni supports CMS's priority areas:
- Faculty excellence: Recruiting and retaining the finest faculty.
