THE LAST WORD
Dr Sally Howes OBE on the future of philanthropic giving at UEA.
Philanthropy has been part of UEA’s identity from the start. This proud tradition helped lay the first bricks on campus, welcome the first students and commence our earliest research.

Your support has continued to power UEA for 60 groundbreaking years, helping bright minds achieve more, researchers delve deeper and writers build new worlds of imagination. You are backing the next generation because you believe in better than the status quo.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary year, I am tremendously excited about what comes next. In a changing world of new global challenges, technologies and possibilities, philanthropy will be central to our future.
Our plans are ambitious – just look at our five-year Climate Action Plan or the transformative Campus Development Plan. Together, we have already achieved so much. The possibilities are palpable. Thank you so much for supporting the University’s work this year. You are proof that our pioneering spirit of giving is ready for the future.
Dr Sally Howes OBE Chair, University of East Anglia
