Computer industry "ripe" for funding requests

In my Institutional Effectiveness Committee meeting that I chaired on Thursday, February 16th, we had two items on our agenda: the first was plans for the Southeast Campus and the second had to do with a discussion on approaching the computer industry for funding.

With the recent article surrounding Apple's cash holdings, this may be the best time for defining why the computer industry should support City College. Companies such as Salesforce.com, Twitter, Zynga, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Intel, and Hewlett Packard should be on the list. And, the Computer History donors' list should be given an in-depth review (see
http://www.computerhistory.org/contribute/ and http://www.computerhistory.org/contribute/corporate/).

With the recent devastating loss of State funding, CCSF must look to the private sector to make up some of the lost revenue. I'll do my best to make certain that all avenues are explored.
