Every gift to the College, including unrestricted donations, goes directly towards projects that have an immediate impact on current students and other members of the College. We are immensely grateful for every donation received.
“It is a privilege to give a little back in return for having been given such a wonderful experience and opportunity. I hope all alumni will support, little or much.”
Alan Lovell (Classics, 1972)
