Our 450th Anniversary Giving Day, which took place on Wednesday June 30th, has raised over £150,000 towards the College’s priority areas of student support, access and outreach work, and our new Northgate building.
In College, we celebrated this special Giving Day with a beautiful (and delicious) commemorative cake, featured a panel of second quad complete with our famous wisteria. There was also a lunchtime BBQ for the staff, students, Fellows and lecturers in College, and locally-made ice cream from the Covered Market’s iScream was enjoyed by all in Second Quad.
Thanks to the huge generosity of College donors, a magnificent £154,630 was raised towards our priority programmes. Dr Brittany Wellner James, Director of Development, says, “After such a difficult year, it was wonderful to come together as a community and celebrate the College. We are so grateful to everyone who contributed and made the day a success.”
As a thank you to all those who supported the Giving Day, our Principal Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt FRS FREng, shared his personal thanks in the message below:
