I appreciate your support of my academic endeavor. You will receive a hand written thank-you note upon my return from England.

To document the adventure, I will send you postcards from each of the universities. Thank you for your donation.

I appreciate you being so considerate. My wife, Kelly, will hand-pick refrigerator magnets for you from the university gift shops.

Thank you for your donation. This amount will help cover internal transfers between the universities and airports. I will show my appreciation by sending you a coffee mug from one of the universities. We can share a cup of java and talk about the trip.

It’s cold in the UK (and sometimes in Texas too!). I will show my appreciation by bringing you a scarf from one of the universities to keep you warm and comfy. All you “Doctor Who” fans know you'll want one.

Your contribution of $1,000 will significantly offset my travel expenses. I invite you to join me for dinner at the la Madeleine Cafe next to The University of Texas of Dallas to recap my trip and share with you my experiences abroad.

Your contribution of $2,200 will cover lodging expenses for both conferences. Upon my return, I will donate Catering by la Madeleine (sandwiches, salads, dessert and ice tea) for up to 10 people to your work or home on a date of your choosing. Your work or home must be within the delivery area of a la Madeleine Cafe.

If you donate my entire goal with one donation, the remaining donations will be allocated to help offset the expenses of other students at The University of Texas at Dallas through the Impact UTD program.
