They probably invited you knowing you want their donations. If you're taking advantage of them, you're taking advantage of them in a way they've invited you to. You're fine. Just don't believe them when they tell you the people you really need to meet are in the advanced courses.

I'm not sold on this, although I do think this is plausible, but my gut tells me otherwise. They are required to pledge a certain amount of people whom they "want to help out in the same way they were helped." So I'm pretty cynical about it all. Nonetheless, I hadn't considered this. I'd like to believe it to rationalize taking advantage of the people in my introductory course.They probably invited you knowing you want their donations.
