2000-2001

Le Truong ’01 of Los Angeles, California, who is a first-time recipient of support from the Class of 1933, is a senior majoring in management. A resident of Burton-Connor House, Le is completing his years at MIT with a near perfect academic record. He has played intramural volleyball and he sustains a deep enthusiasm for education, particularly that of young children. Le has been a part of the China Educational Technology Initiative, working as a coordinator for admissions. He also worked as a tutor in the community during last year’s Independent Activities Period through the Institute’s Public Service Center. This past summer, he had the opportunity to teach in China under the China Educational Technology Initiative. He looks forward to pursuing a career in finance.

Itty Samuel ’04 of Bridgeport, Connecticut is another first-time recipient of support from your class. Itty comes to MIT from Central Magnet High School. He was the Captain of the State Championship Engineering Design Challenge Contest; the same entry won third place nationally. He also was the President of his high school's National Honor Society and Captain of their Academic Decathlon team. Over the summer, he enjoyed working as an intern at IBM. Here at MIT, he plans to major in electrical engineering and computer science.

As you know, support from the Class of 1933 helps MIT maintain its commitment to admitting the best and brightest, regardless of need. On behalf of the Alumni Association and the Institute, I send sincere thanks for the Class of 1933’s contributions to these funds.
