Friends
The Friends of the Caltech Y is the primary support group of the Caltech Y. Annual minimum donations of $200 and above are recognized at the Friends level and are acknowledged in the annual report. Friends are invited to two to three other private, special events throughout the year, such as this event, and receive the Y’s quarterly newsletters and annual report.

If I had to choose a word to describe the Y, I would say “transformative”—we are constantly changing the lives of our students for the better, and making
an impact on the world around us. We transform students into leaders and our campus into a community. Your support
and generosity would be greatly appreciated to help keep our amazing programs running for the coming years.

The Y has been called “the soul of Caltech” and has become known as the social consciousness of the campus. “Soul” and “social consciousness” are words that we associate with human growth. Our students are amazing people, gifted with mighty intelligence and the drive to excel. We owe them a student life that looks at the whole person; we owe them a campus that respects and emphasizes human growth in all its bewildering and intriguing permutations. And we owe them an organization like the Y that is concerned with this most essential of all activities.
