The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics Foundation received strong support from our many constituents and corporate and foundation partners during the 2008- 2009 fiscal year. On behalf of our Board of Directors, and on behalf of the students we serve throughout North Carolina, thank you for your generosity. The donors recognized within this annual report hail from around the globe, proof perhaps that our educational mission resonates throughout the entire world, and doubtless proof that our growing ranks of alumni, North Carolinians all, continue to stay "connected" to their School and state. Perhaps the greatest testament to the strength of this "connection" is the timing of these gifts. Despite the economic stresses that persisted throughout the year, our community continued to generously support NCSSM. We are truly grateful for such a sustained commitment to education. Again, on behalf of the NCSSM Foundation and all who benefit from our services statewide, thank you. We look forward to continuing our work together.
Sincerely,
Katie T. Wagstaff, NCSSM Foundation Executive Director
T. Brock Winslow '86, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement
