Views from Supporters
"I had a little overtime pay this week, so I wanted to donate what I could.
I lost a great-paying job in 2005 and am still making only 1/3 of what I made then, and am now working 2-3 jobs.
I teach part-time (when the classes reach the minimum number of students), so I consider learning very important, and I am a lifelong learner myself.
I enjoy all the offerings from OCW and recommend them to my students each time I teach a new class. It's always great to read comments from people all over the world who are using OCW to gain new knowledge.
Thank you so much for enriching the world with learning opportunities!"
