Alumni News & Notes

 

 
March Alumni Events Update
 
"Calling all Alumni..."  Yes literally!
 
The Spring 2010 Phone-a-thon begins March 1st! 
 
Our students will love to hear your Hilbert memories as we call to raise money for this year's Hilbert Fund! 
 
We are very grateful to have received a matching gift challenge from Robert Drago, Hilbert trustee emeritus.  He has offered to match every dollar donated to this spring's campaign up to $25,000.  In addition, Hilbert has received a Title III federal grant that provides an additional dollar for dollar match for every gift toward student scholarships.  Therefore, a gift of $100 to the Hilbert Fund will provide $300 in scholarships for our students. 
 
 
Save the date, and your appetite...
