Why I Give

Rose Silva

"For me, it really is about the next generation and enabling someone to realize their potential. This is a very prestigious organization and to be here is not cheap but there is so much talent and I am really awed by that. I encourage you to start early. You can build as you become more established in your career. Keep adding those zeros."

ROSEANNE SILVA, 1991 ALUMNUS

"I give because I know it makes a difference. The education I received through the INI has been foundational to my success and I want to make sure future students have the same opportunities I had."

Daniel Votipka, 2012 ALUMNUS

"As an international student with a modest upbringing, I realized a transformative benefit from CMU and INI that jump-started my career. Now I help INI continue its mission through giving and as chair of the Alumni Leadership Council - so proud that the ALC has 100% participation in giving!"

"I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the generosity of donors. I would like to pay it forward and give others the same opportunity."
