Let’s Re-visit the Strategic Plan…

Why Are We Here?The Pursuit of Excellence

What is rewarded on race day is power, VO2 max and athletic skill.

MIT rowers devote a substantial part of their lives to a pursuit in which their intelligence is not much help.

When they succeed, as they increasingly do, they are among the most impressive scholar athletes.

A person who can suceed at MIT and in college rowing is formidable.

Leading the Way

Coaching Makes the Difference

• Michigan vs. Ohio State (WolverBuck: 21-2)

• UVa

• Bucknell

• Purdue

• GVSU


“If Princeton can have it, why can’t we?”

How Endowments Work

• Funds reside within larger endowment fund – like owning a portion of a large mutual fund

• Goal is to provide steady distributions and principal growth

• Minumum gifts requried - $25k

• Way to leave a permanent legacy – restricted, named funds

• Those with means generally have to give something…
