Our 2019-20 student callers enjoyed catching up with alumni.
ANSWERING THE CALL FOR SUPPORT We are delighted to announce that the 2019-20 telephone giving campaigns, during which student callers spoke to alumni, have raised a wonderful £115,000 to support The UEA Difference Campaign. The call campaign is always a chance for our alumni community to connect with current students, share stories and advice, and reminisce about the campus and University life. It’s an opportunity to look back on a formative time in life and consider making a generous gift to fund UEA’s
pioneering work that is creating global change where it is most needed. This year, alumni pledged their support for projects including our brand-new research into dementia diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care. They are also bringing talented scholars to the University to complete their studies through the Difference Scholarships and developing Professor Colin Cooper’s exciting tests for prostate cancer. Some, meanwhile, made gifts to be spent where they are needed most
– which helps us respond to urgent opportunities and continue to make sure UEA is here for generations to come. “The generosity of our alumni never fails to surprise us,” said David Ellis, Director of Development at UEA. “And we also hear that they love catching up with current students about the University, the campus and their studies.” Thank you to this year’s telephone giving campaign supporters and those considering a future gift.
