April is the month of  &endings8 at Ivey.? As you no doubt  remember with 
great fondness, students finish their exams this month and those  that are 
graduating go on to the endeavors for which the School has prepared  them.? 
This year, April  30th brings to a close the 2000-2001 Annual Fund and 
concludes the  historic $75 million Ivey Campaign.???

We are most  grateful to those of our alumni who have helped propel this year,
s Annual Fund  to over $2 million to date.? For  those of you who have yet to 
make a gift, I hope that you will consider  making a contribution now.? Your 
gift  on or before April 30th will be counted toward the 2000-2001 Annual  
Fund and it will help us reach The Ivey Campaign  goal.?

Support from alumni  gives Ivey the flexibility to compete globally.? Ivey,s 
international success can be seen  in the recent Financial Times rankings of 
international business schools, in  which Ivey ranked 19th for the 2nd 
consecutive year.? Ivey also achieved the number one spot  in the world for 
value, and the number one spot in North America for  international mobility 
of our alumni and aims of graduates achieved.? Alumni and private support 
play an  important role in the School,s ability to raise its international 
profile and  build equity in the Ivey brand.?

I believe that Ivey is  an outstanding business school worthy of your 
investment and support, and I hope  you will agree.? To make your pledge
