  23. “Our work in the schools started as a sort of altruism," says McQuade. "But the payback is far more than we expected. We're looking at the schools as a potential future source of recruitment. We're giving kids a taste for technology. It's a terrifically rewarding program for us in both attracting and retaining people to work here. Even our employees who aren't volunteers like the idea that the company is involved in the community." CIO Magazine, April 2001 Mutualism?

  24. "This was not some PR job," McQuade says. "You know the type—adopt a school, go over there one day a year to paint, some crap like that. This was the result of sustained commitment." CIO Magazine April 2001

  25. Smaller Learning Communities • Create two small, intimate learning communities in which students are well known and can be supported and encouraged by adults who care for and about them. • Reduce the isolation that too often leads to alienation and violence • Encourage teachers to use their intelligence and their experience to help students succeed
