Young Alumni Trustee Mason Smith has a distinctive perspective on giving back.
Mason Smith (BS '09) is extraordinarily dedicated to his alma mater. He has volunteered as a mentor for students and fellow alumni, serves on the Board of Trustees, and bolsters his volunteerism with generous philanthropic investments, including a recent $350,000 gift to support scholarships and student life.
Smith's philanthropic relationship with Caltech dates to his senior class gift in 2009. He quickly followed up with contributions to the Page House endowment.
"I don't think I would have done all of the things I did if I had attended a larger university," Smith says. "The closeness of the community inspired me to contribute in some way."
