I want to offer students the opportunity that was mine.<\/h3>\n

\u00c9cole Centrale Paris, now CentraleSup\u00e9lec, is my alma mater. It gave me a very high quality training, both technically and philosophically. I have had a very rich career, I have lived with my family in a dozen countries, in particular Texas, I have written two books and dozens of technical articles. Then, after I retired, I became a consultant for major oil companies. I was very lucky, and it seemed natural to my wife Odile and I to offer this opportunity to today’s students.<\/p>\n

“The Foundation offered us the opportunity to split our donations between France and the United States.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seemed natural to us to give, but also to transmit.<\/h3>\n

After discussions with the Foundation’s team, we agreed on the creation of a scholarship fund that perfectly met our twofold expectation: to support students and to do so over the long term through a multi-year commitment. In addition, being French and American citizens, the Foundation offered us the possibility of dividing our donations between France and the United States through the Friends of CS<\/a>, Inc. structure, and thus benefiting from tax deductions linked to these donations.<\/p>\n

We have also decided to take out life insurance<\/a> in favor of the CentraleSup\u00e9lec Foundation. We have seven grandchildren who will each receive a share of our inheritance, but we felt it was important to also pass on to the community. It is a way for us to leave a footprint, an additional trace that will be useful to students in the long run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
