Why I Give
Navigate Alphabetically
Jessica Indingaro '99
“I received a lot from HWS that I didn't pay for, and I give because I got so much. I was the beneficiary of an endowed scholarship in memory of Sylvia Witmer Bissell '68 and in honor of her mother Marian Costello Witmer '32, among other financial aid grants. So there was the actual tuition money, and the investment that alums that I didn't know and will likely never meet made in me. But what I'm really getting at are the varied and meaningful experiences - experiences that you just can't pay for - that I remain convinced would not have occurred but for being at the right place at the right time in my life. I give with the expectation and understanding that my small financial gifts contribute to making those larger experiences possible for the students who come after me.”
