Support the University
Alumni play a vital role in creating a sustainable University.
Founded with a generous gift from Walter Hughes, the University has a proud history of philanthropy that continues to this day. We are grateful for the ongoing support of our alumni and friends, who generously give to scholarships, prizes, research and endowment funds at the University.
From a gift in your will, to a donation to our annual appeals, your support has real impact. You are changing the lives of our students, and helping us tackle the global challenges facing our communities today. Our alumni are a unique and highly valued part of our community, and we welcome and celebrate your support.
