Architecture '01
 

"Next to the Campanile, I recently came across a bench inscribed, "Beneficiary to Benefactor," remembers Michael Lin. "The alumni who gifted this stone seat recognized what I also know to be true."

That sturdy reminder of the importance of giving back has remained with Lin since he graduated from Cal. Since then, he has helped open the door to Cal for many prospective students through his countless hours of reviewing hundreds of undergraduate applications. He was also co-chair of the 10th reunion campaign committee for the Class of '01.

"Cal taught me to care about our world and to give back; to help the less fortunate, further knowledge, and increase global understanding and citizenry," says Lin says. "This compels me to support Cal."
