Olin Organizations
Some cool stuff happening on campus
Donate to Olin
Alumni help improve student life and advance Olin’s mission to transform engineering education through donations and involvement in activities. Every contribution helps by increasing our alumni giving participation rate.
How to Donate
Donate at http://giving.olin.edu. Olin’s fiscal year ends on June 30th, so donate before then to count for this fiscal year. You can check your past donation history (login first initial lastname, like "pmiller", or reset password).
You can read more about donations at Olin's Giving FAQs.
