Impact D

onors are the lifeblood of great universities – without you Trinity cannot achieve its noble mission. And for many of our donors, without a university, their own aspirations cannot be met.

To some, Trinity is a series of (admittedly beautiful) buildings.

While we are proud of our architectural heritage, we know that this is not the reason for the extraordinary support we have received from our donors in the past decades.

Why, for instance, do so many of our alumni enthusiastically support the Alumni Appeal to help students from diverse backgrounds who otherwise could not afford a university education? I believe it is because the values of Trinity, and its actions, resonate with the values of our donors, and that they believe that their desire for a better world can be brought about by investing in institutions with the power and the ambition to change the world for the better.

You will read an article further on in this report that last year we received a @3m legacy to support research into epilepsy – we did not get this because Trinity has been around since 1592 (although tradition embracing long-lasting values is embedded 2 | Trinity Today

in this university). Rather, the donor gave to Trinity because she knew of the power of university research in addressing the real challenges of today.

People give to make an impact. In Trinity’s case, our alumni and friends understand that investing in our researchers and educators has always had, and will continue, to make a difference. It is through supporting Trinity that donors have a chance to make the difference they want to see in the world.

Our donor community is a rich tapestry of individuals, all wanting to see improvements and transformation in society.

Some want Ireland to be a leader in the latest technologies, so our children will have satisfying and secure jobs when they graduate. Others want to help find the cures of disease at the “bench”, while others want to see these discoveries brought to the “bedside”.

Many alumni are keen to see the student experience in Trinity is improved, as this is such a unique aspect of the Trinity education. And even more want to see those that could benefit from a world class education not be prevented for financial reasons.

Director’s Report | Donor Report

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself ” John Dewey

While the interests of our donors and their individual enthusiasms differ, we are all united in the belief, that an investment in Trinity is an investment in Ireland and the world.

This Donor Report is a Thank You to all who have made that investment – we hope that you will agree that your gifts have been well used and that together we are making a difference.

Please do contact me, or any of my colleagues in Trinity Foundation, if you would like to talk about any of the contents of this report and how your contribution is helping make an impact.

Scholarship funds have helped many students and continue to do so via the Alumni Appeal

Donor Report | alumni appeal

The Alumni Appeal Since its launch in March 2011, the Alumni Appeal has raised over €200,000 from alumni and friends. Specifically, the appeal supports student scholarship and access to education, and its funds are facilitated through the school of graduation of the donor as well as the Trinity Access Programmes (TAP). This report provides further information on where the cash received for the financial year 2010/11 has been allocated; for a full listing of projects supported for each school, please visit: www.tcd.ie/funding-priorities/alumniappeal/projects.php

Undergraduate Student travel bursaries For many courses, a field trip is a core part of the educational experience, and a chance to bring the lecture hall to life. Some schools, like the School of Natural Sciences, will use their funds to help undergraduate students experiencing financial hardship to undertake field trips. These field trips are an essential part of the education of future zoologists, botanists, geologists and geographers, and form a cornerstone of the School’s researchfocused curriculum.

excellence prizes By rewarding excellence in research or teaching, these prizes will not only directly support students, but encourage the highest quality of work within the school and serve as an incentive for rising academic stars. The School of Social Science and Philosophy, for example, intends to establish an annual Alumni Student Teaching Award to recognise and reward teaching assistants who have made an outstanding contribution in the pursuit of teaching excellence. This award will not only provide recognition for excellent teaching, but also serve to motivate teaching assistants to further raise the bar in terms of the standards of teaching delivered by the School.

Postgraduate Student Support These funds will directly support postgraduate students and allow them more time to focus on the high-impact research which is at the heart of Trinity’s mission. The School of Business, for example, will use the funds from the Alumni Appeal to support the Postgraduate Scholarship Fund to help students from developing countries study in Trinity. Over time, this will hopefully create a leadership pool of Trinity alumni from developing countries who would make a meaningful contribution to both the business community and society at large.

Trinity Access Programmes (TAP) The Trinity Access Programmes (TAP) are a core part of Trinity’s plan to widen its doors and open access to higher education. TAP work in partnership across the education sector and with students, teachers, families, communities and businesses to widen access and participation at third-level for under-represented groups, offering a range of programmes for people with the enthusiasm, motivation and ability to succeed. In addition TAP support other initiatives with secondary school students, like a maths and science outreach programme. The funds from this year’s Alumni Appeal have been allocated to bursaries to help students who, due to their personal circumstances, would otherwise be unable to reach their academic potential. other student initiatives Some schools will be funding innovative student projects, such as design competitions, secondary school outreach, or undergraduate research projects. The School of Engineering, for example, has used funds from the appeal to help finance the Trinity Engineering Design Challenge. In spring 2012, five teams of five students were provided with training and access to experts in tackling a specific design challenge. These hands-on projects allowed undergraduates and postgraduates to use the principles of Universal Design to solve real problems, providing valuable experience for their future careers.

Motor Neurone Disease research Making MND a treatable disease.

Professor Orla Hardiman in the documentary “MND – The Inside Track”, a science documentary produced by Independent Pictures / Agtel for RTÉ One, in which RTÉ Sport broadcaster Colm Murray seeks to understand the disease that has gripped him and to play whatever small part he can in the ongoing search for a future cure

M

otor Neurone Disease (MND), known also as ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterised primarily by progressive paralysis. There are no effective treatments for MND with death usually occurring within 3-5 years of symptom onset. The causes of MND are not well understood. Some forms are genetic and the condition also occurs with higher than expected frequency in athletes. Research taking place at Trinity College Dublin aims to reveal a better understanding of the disease which will in turn lead to new solutions so that MND can be a treatable disease for all sufferers. Ireland is already recognised as a leader in MND research.

Professor Orla Hardiman, Consultant Neurologist, Health Research Board Clinician Scientist of Beaumont Hospital and Trinity College Dublin, is leading the team of researchers.

For the past 15 years, the clinical work has been primarily based in Beaumont Hospital, with strong links with Trinity College Dublin, and has been funded by the Health Research Board, Muscular Dystrophy America, the American MND Association, the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and the EU Framework 7 Programme.

We are currently seeking to secure €1.5m to deliver a full-scale MND research programme. We are delighted with the response so far – nearly €800,000 raised with support coming from JP McManus Invitational PRO-AM, the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association, Munster Rugby and Waters Corporation.

8 | Trinity Today

In December 2011 Horse Racing Ireland held a race in Fairyhouse named “The Trinity Motor Neurone Disease Research Hurdle” to assist in publicising research into the condition. Sports Presenter Colm Murray, one of Irish horseracing’s greatest advocates and supporters, was diagnosed with MND over one year ago. Colm became aware that researchers in Trinity College, collaborating with leading international centres, are working at the highest level to investigate MND from many perspectives from genetics to drug development – areas where Trinity scientists are among the best in the world.

Trinity MND Research is one of three charities Munster Rugby is supporting as part of the team’s 2011/12 corporate social responsibility programme. http://people.tcd.ie/hardimao

Neuroenhancement for Inequalities in Elder Lives (NIEL) Enhance, enable, educate, empower.

N

IEL was initiated by Professor Ian Robertson to create a research infrastructure to accelerate the development of methods to delay dementia. Key short-term objectives include: the establishment of a series of research trials to identify the optimum methods for enhancing brain function in the elderly, the development of low-cost technologies for delivering optimal brain stimulation methods and the development of optimal arrangements for engaging at-risk elderly people in an educational-preventive context.

Initial activities have concentrated on the creation of partnerships and the development and dissemination of research projects. The multi-year funding from the Atlantic Philanthropies (AP) has allowed the team to bring together a core group of Irish researchers to focus on a pioneering programme of research for multi-level interventions to delay dementia. In addition, AP support has enabled fostering relationships with international researchers, clinicians and industry experts providing access to rich clinical and technological knowledge bases that enhance our own ageing expertise. AP has also facilitated the broadening of knowledge base through workshops, seminars and collaborations, and the strengthening of technical skill base in brain stimulation and brain functioning methods.

Key achievements include: the establishment of a number of research studies aimed, not only at the identification of

optimum methods for enhancing cognitive function, but also at the identification of markers of cognitive decline; progress in the development of low-cost technologies for brain stimulation; the establishment of relevant relationships with academic and industrial research partners; the creation of a pipeline of large-scale projects, many in collaboration with new consortia comprised of leading international brain researchers and technology experts. A number of papers have been published, presented at conferences, are under review or are in preparation.

The focus is currently on researching means through which it is possible to engage and educate the elderly whilst also conducting research. www.tcd.ie/Neuroscience/niel

lready one of the leading business schools in Ireland, Trinity’s School of Business has embarked on an ambitious development plan to position itself in the league of top European business schools.

The last five years have seen the School expand its activities at all levels: new undergraduate degrees in conjunction with the Law School, the School of Computer Science, and the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and new postgraduate degrees in Finance and International Management. And, in 2011 for the first time, the School’s MBA programme, which was established in 1964, was offered on a part-time schedule. To support this expansion, the School has made key academic appointments, a number of which have been generously supported by individuals and industry.

The next phase of transformation, involves the construction of a new Business School overlooking the College’s rugby pitch. The Business School Campaign is being led by Professor Gerard McHugh and is gaining enormous support from alumni and other business leaders. To date in excess of €4m has been raised with alumni and friends having very generously agreed to be come Founding Patrons of the School. In early 2012, the second phase of the Campaign - the Patron level, will be launched.

The assistance of alumni in engaging others with the School has been critical to the success of the Campaign to date. The School would like to extend its sincere gratitude to alumni and friends for the remarkable goodwill and assistance and in particular, to those who have agreed to support the School by becoming Founding Patrons and Patrons of the new School. www.tcd.ie/business

The Old Library One of the world’s most iconic libraries.

T

he Old Library building and its contents are of international standing for scholarly value and cultural significance. Its collections have been acquired since the establishment of the College in 1592 and it is a Legal Deposit Library for Ireland and the United Kingdom, being the largest library in Ireland with a total collection of almost 5 million items, with books, manuscripts (including the Book of Kells), maps and music.

The Old Library building is visited by over 500,000 people a year, and the wear and tear on this unique resource is beginning to threaten its continued accessibility to the public. A feasibility study was carried out, funded by the Department of Environment and the Getty Foundation, to investigate the requirements for bringing this resource back to a more sustainable physical condition.

To meet this challenge a capital programme has been launched with a €2.7m grant from Fáilte Ireland towards the overall cost of €10.7m. The completion of this project will repair and protect the Old Library and make its contents available to scholars in a modern environment. It will also deliver state-of-the-art visitor facilities, enabling an increase in visitor numbers and greater access to the Library’s collections and treasures.

We are using the Tercentenary of the Old Library building to launch the Patrons' Programme to L-R: Provost Dr Patrick Prendergast, Editor Kathy Gilfillan, Librarian Robin Adams at the launch of “Trinity Tales: Trinity College Dublin in support the the Seventies” in the Old Library areas listed below:  Acquisitions: To continue to broaden the collections, built over 400 years, and to take up opportunities in traditional and new media. www.tcd.ie/Library/about/donating-books.php  Conservation and Preservation: To ensure future research and availability of this great building and its collections for years to come. www.tcd.ie/Library/preservation  Cataloguing and Description: To catalogue and mark up to realise the research and exhibition potential of the Library’s vast collections.  Digitisation: To ensure the Library’s collections are available to the next generation of scholars. www.tcd.ie/Library

Transforming Trinity the power of legacies

Professor Luke O’Neill, Chair of Biochemistry and Director of Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute with research students.

Because of those individuals who understood what their imaginative, personal support could mean, Trinity now takes its place as a world leader in biomedical sciences.”

T

he generosity and foresight of one individual can bring transformational change. Ellen Mayston Bates (née Breese) left Trinity in her will a gift in excess of €3m for the study of epilepsy. This is the latest in a long line of legacies to the School of Medicine which was itself founded by a generous bequest from the Widow Parsons in 1711.

Ellen understood the importance of research in eliminating the disease and empathised with those who suffered from epilepsy – the most common serious brain disorder of young people in the world. There are 50-70 12 | Trinity Today

million sufferers and 40,000 in Ireland alone. In the last hundred years, huge progress has been made in the study of epilepsy but still a lot needs to be done to tackle the disease. The Ellen Mayston Bates legacy will allow Trinity to invest in a major epilepsy research programme enabling new insights into epilepsy and discoveries for the benefit of patients.

Between the Widow Parsons in 1711 and Mrs Mayston Bates in 2011 the School of Medicine has benefitted from many other legacies, large and small, which have helped develop significant

expertise and capacity in medical research, supporting breakthroughs in areas such as cancer, infection, immune deficiency, TB, malaria and metabolic disorders. Because of those individuals who understood what their imaginative, personal support could mean, Trinity now takes its place as a world leader in biomedical sciences for the ultimate benefit of millions of individuals affected by the diseases and disorders of the modern world.

And medicine is just one of the many areas in Trinity that has benefitted from legacies...

Driving the Future A political refugee from Iraq in 1958, Sami Nasr found a home in Ireland and a place in Trinity. He was awarded an M.Sc. in Geology in 1961 and developed a great affection for TCD while studying here. He appreciated that Trinity welcomed him without reservation and was “blind to colour and religious belief.” The legacy he left at the end of a successful career to mark his stay in Ireland enabled Trinity to establish The Sami Nasr Institute for Advanced Materials.

The building which proudly bears his name is home to a suite of cutting edge material science research activities. This research is playing a critical role in enabling the new technologies which will be a driving force for the future of our economy.

students of narrow means”. The interest in helping talented students who face financial barriers continues to motivate many alumni and friends to give back to Trinity. Based on his own experiences as a student in Trinity in the 1960s, Charles Edwards has decided to leave a legacy to Trinity supporting students who face financial hardship.

“I remember so well what it was like to be broke and cold in Dublin. I was always shown amazing kindness and generosity

by Irish people.”

Transforming Trinity The legacy of these individuals and many others like them have helped transform the University over time in The Pollard Collection inspiring the writers of the future

Remembering Trinity in your will is a generous, far-sighted act that will benefit the University for generations to come and we are keen to ensure that alumni and friends will have every opportunity to be part of Trinity’s unfolding story long into the future. If you would like to find out more about how your legacy could make a difference, we would be delighted to talk to you.

Inspiring Creativity Trinity’s magnificent library has also benefitted enormously from legacies, some of its greatest benefactors being its own staff including Paul Pollard (Keeper of Early Printed Books). Paul Pollard’s legacy of a unique collection of 10,000 children’s books, acquired over a lifetime, has given a new lease of life to the study of children’s literature in Trinity and has sparked a suite of educational and creative activities aimed at igniting a love of reading and books among children now and in future generations.

Harnessing Talent One of the College’s longest standing bequests dates from 1717 when Mr Benjamin Span’s legacy established two annual prizes “for deserving

ways that are - at once simple and extraordinary - supporting groundbreaking research, enabling high-quality scholarship, preserving Trinity’s unique heritage and supporting new capital developments.

I remember so well what it was like to be broke and cold in Dublin. I was always shown amazing kindness and generosity by Irish people.”

In the year ending September 2011, many important and exciting College projects were progressed.

Supporting these, the Trinity Foundation working with the TCD Association & Trust, the University of Dublin Fund (US), the UK Trust for TCD and others - successfully helped secure pledges in excess of €15.1 million (09/10 €14.5 million).

This funding is both a testament to the quality of the projects and the generosity of our dedicated supporters.

Central to fundraising success is the outstanding contribution of Trinity’s advisory boards and volunteer groups, whose members give their time, strategic input and financial support.

The exciting developments throughout College simply would not be possible without the extraordinary support and generosity of so many of you: some who have made major commitments to one of the projects in this report; and others who choose to contribute through the Trinity Annual Fund.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our donors and supporters – the University is deeply grateful. We look forward to keeping you up to date with our future developments in the coming year.
