Giving Impact Stories - February 2009
Gifts to the Annual Fund are critical to maintaining a quality educational experience. One of the many ways, annual fund gifts are used is to provide worthy students with financial aid; and your kindness does not go unnoticed. Friedman School students are deeply grateful for debt relief and often it is because of these gifts that they are able to attend the Friedman School- their first choice for pursuing a graduate degree! Similarly, alumni who support the Annual Fund do so for varying reasons; a desire to give back, to improve the student experience, because it feels good, to maintain the strong reputation of the Friedman School and many more. We invite you to read more about why our students are grateful and why our alumni support us, by clicking here: http://alumni.nutrition.tufts.edu/?pid=45&c=77

Gift Planning - Mildred Burrowes - February 2009
"Mildred Burrows was a woman way ahead of her time," says longtime friend and advisor Jan Miller of Caldwell Trust Company. "She was a voracious reader and was especially intersted in health and nutrition. She always shared copies of the Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter with her friends in her Florida retirement community. Her greatest complaint was the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in the dining room."
Ms. Burrows' interest in nutrition was reflected in how she organized her estate plans as well. She bequethed approximately 20% of her estate to the Friedman School. Her genrosity will leave a lasting legacy by helping to further the school's mission.
