nnual gifts of all levels are essential to the quality of a student’s education, and help
to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating a student.

As we near the end of the calendar year, please consider supporting CCIS with your

tax deductible gift. Your generosity will help ensure that vital opportunities and resources
are available to our undergraduate and graduate students.

Your gift also affects Northeastern’s standing in national rankings of colleges and universities,
where alumni participation in annual giving programs is viewed as an indicator of alumni
satisfaction. These rankings significantly influence corporations, foundations and donors
when making their philanthropic decisions.

You may designate your gift to the CCIS Dean’s Discretionary Fund, which is used to provide
scholarships and support projects and activities that enhance education. Please participate
with a gift for 2007. Your support will strengthen the University’s alumni participation rate
and demonstrate your confidence in CCIS as a national leader in computer and information
science education.
