Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you again for showing your support of the Calvin Lin Turing Scholars Endowment. With your help, we were able to reach our initial goal of $25,000 and are well on our way to reaching our $50,000 stretch goal. We ask that if you have not done so already, to please share this campaign with your colleagues, friends and family by December 31. Gifts can be made to this campaign before the New Year and every gift will count towards supporting the next generation of talented computer scientists.
Thank you again for your support of Turing Scholars and Happy Holidays!
