Thank you!
Our project concluded December 1st at 11p.m. We are excited to report that the #Comets2Cambridge campaign raised the most donations out of all 5 competing strategic management classes. We finished with $8,412 and this amount is generously being matched dollar for dollar by the Jindal School of Management’s Dean Pirkul!
With $16,824 raised we have well exceeded our original and stretch goal of $6,000 to fund travel expenses for 4 students! We are very excited to announce that your contributions will have an impact on many more students’ lives. The remainder of the funds will be used to cover registration fees and travel expenses for additional JSOM students accepted to present their research at international conferences including the 2016 Cambridge Business and Economics Conference.
None of this would have been possible without all of your generous donations. We are blown away by the amount of student body, family, friend and community support we received for the project. We cannot thank you enough for your contributions!
The 2016 Cambridge Business and Economics Conference will be held on July 1st and 2nd, 2016. We will be sending photos and details about the students who are selected to present their work, a week after the conference concludes.
If you would still like to continue to support students, there are other projects to contribute to. To help students present at the 13th Global Conference on Business & Economics held at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, please visit impact.utdallas.edu.
Happy Holiday’s from our Strategic Management class!
We are happy to announce that we have passed our stretch goal ahead of schedule! We have raised $6,067, which is 101% of our stretch goal. All of your support has helped fully fund four students’ trips to present at the 2016 Cambridge Business & Economics Conference.
Thank you for all of your help!
Now that we have reached our goal, it is time to bring our project to a close; however, if you would still like to continue to support students, there are other projects to contribute to.

Because today is Thanksgiving, we wanted to give thanks once again to all of our wonderful donors! We have raised 94% of our new stretch goal because of their support. Our total of $5,647 is less than $400 shy of being able to fully fund 4 students. With only five days left, our project is coming to a close soon, but we still have more work to do.
Thank you for supporting #Comets2Cambridge and have a happy Thanksgiving!
We are proud to announce that we have surpassed our initial goal of $4,500! The dean of the Jindal School of Management, Dr. Pirkul, has agreed to match our fundraising dollar for dollar. Because of his and all our other donors’ generous support, we have decided to implement a new stretch goal of $6,000 and extend our donation deadline to December 1, 2015. With the dean’s help, every donation has a larger impact and can make a bigger difference in students’ lives. When we reach our new goal, the dean’s match means a total of eight students will have their trip to Cambridge fully funded!
Thank you for your continued support!
We have surpassed three-quarters of our campaign goal and want to send a BIG thank you to each one of our 75 donors who have enabled us reach the current total of $3,515 (78% of goal)!
We have one week remaining and more progress to make. With continued support, we will be able to achieve our goal of $4,500 and the mission of #Comets2Cambridge will be successful.
To show our appreciation, we’ve asked Daisy Sanchez, a student who is submitting research to the 2016 Cambridge Business & Economics Conference, to share a little about what research she is hoping to present and to explain how your donations are making an impact.
We are approaching the halfway mark of our campaign and we want to send a special thank you out to each of our 41 donors who have helped us reach 48% of our goal!
With your help we can meet our goal of $4,500 during the remaining 22 days of our project. THANK YOU for supporting #Comets2Cambridge and funding an amazing education experience for three students.
#Comets2Cambridge would like to thank all of our wonderful donors for helping us reach 31% of our goal. A total of $1,435 has already been raised to help students attend the 2016 Cambridge Business & Economic Conference. This amount is just $65 under being able to fully sponsor one student to attend the conference and cover all expenses.
27 days remain in our fundraising drive and we need your help to spread the word about our project. With your continued support, we can give more students the opportunity to take full advantage of this experience they have earned. Presenting at this conference not only benefits the student, it also enhances the reputation of UT Dallas for alumni, students, faculty and the entire campus community. Thank you and keep up the great work!
