Dear John,
So far, we’re 67% closer to reaching our goal of encouraging a total of 1,000 people to donate during this campaign. We thank the 673 people who have participated so far and helped us secure the first $10,000 toward our $20,000 challenge gift.
With 8 days left of the campaign, we still need your help! Each person who donates counts in this participation challenge and any donation, large or small, makes a difference!
We’re grateful to the supporters who’ve already made a donation during this participation challenge campaign. We hope their words of encouragement and reasons for giving might inspire you to contribute too:
“I support MIT OCW because it allows me to learn topics that are taught at a high level without going physically to the university. I live in Switzerland and I’ve got two small kids and don’t want to go full time at the university, I want to have time with them. But on another side I really love math, physics and biology and the EPFL and EPFZ (local universities) upload only a small parts of their classes. In my situation MIT OCW is the almost perfect solution for me.”
-Geoffrey, Independent Learner, Switzerland
“I donated because I have received a lot of value from OCW and would like OCW to continue expanding their offering. I am currently studying Computer Science at an institution that invests very little in their teaching and have benefited greatly from the CS courses posted from MIT. If it was possible to attend MIT courses remotely I would to this, however, learning from MIT profs while doing a degree at another university is the next best thing.”
-Ian, Student, Canada
If you are thinking aboutdonating to OCW, now is the time! Give $50, $100, or more, and you can choose to receive a special Thank-You gift made possible by an anonymous supporter. This means 100% of your donation will go to OCW to help us continue to publish open and free MIT materials.
If you have already contributed during this campaign, thank you for helping us get closer to reaching our goal!
Sincerely,
Cecilia d'Oliveira
Associate Dean of Digital Learning
MIT OpenCourseWare
