“IT IS YO ALLOWS AND STA EXTRAO

OUR SUPPORT THAT S OUR STUDENTS AFF TO ACHIEVE ORDINARY THINGS” Our celebrations of our fiftieth anniversary this year have given us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what makes our university so special. At event after event, people have said that Salford allowed them to discover themselves, their potential.

People who were students here thirty or forty or fifty years ago first saw what might be possible in life through being at Salford University. They found the place then vibrant, exciting and open-hearted. However nervous they might have been at first, they found Salford warm and welcoming. A fiftieth anniversary makes you look forward and back; back over the early decades till now and forward on to the next fiftieth!

Your belief in your former student self, and in our current students means everything to us. It is your support that allows our students and staff to achieve extraordinary things – to be pioneering in their research, to break new ground, to make links with other disciplines, to solve global problems. It gives them a confidence that can last a lifetime.

It gives them a new lens, a powerful fresh way of seeing. Education opens the doors and the windows of a house you may have never been able to inhabit. It allows the sun into a room that you didn’t know was there. In helping today’s students, you are not only paying a lovely homage to the past, but enabling our students to have a better future, a brighter one. There is nothing so potent as potential fulfilled. Thank you for your great benevolence and generosity, for helping our students to take the first step on this explorative journey. In the next fifty years, it will be today’s students that will be passing the baton on to our students of the future. Time is a loop stitch.

“IF YOU ENJOY YOUR JOB, YOU’LL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE”

FIRST CLASS HONOURS FOR OUR LADY MONICA COCKFIELD MEMORIAL TRUST GRADUATES The Lady Monica Cockfield Memorial Trust has been a huge source of encouragement for the School of Arts and Media, enabling so many to benefit from the impactful scholarships and projects that the Trust’s funding has supported.

The Trust is one of our longest standing donors, having provided scholarships for generations of our students and supported significant work with Styal Prison through our women’s literacy project. Our two Lady Monica Cockfield Memorial Trust scholars, Gemma O’Reilly and Jim Scott, have graduated this year both with first class honours in BA Broadcast Journalism.

In her second year Gemma spent a month working at BBC Radio 4, within the drama department. She enjoyed the experience so much that she decided to pursue the BBC Traineeship Scheme, starting straight after completing her degree.

“There’s an old saying: ‘If you enjoy your job, you’ll never work a day in your life’. I am so passionate, determined and enthusiastic towards my degree and future career that this is the saying that I would strive to live by. To have my hard work and determination acknowledged by being awarded this scholarship has been amazing. I could not be more grateful.

The scholarship has supported all of my hard work thus far and not only that, encouraged me to reach higher!”

Jim Scott also completed a four-week work placement at the BBC in his second year, working in their TV current

affairs department on the BBC’s Rip Off Britain programme.

Here he had an active role in the office and pitched a number of short films for the series, out of which three have been selected for commissioning.

“My scholarship has made a huge difference to me. It has helped me to buy essential course resources such as SD cards and other electronic equipment like external hard drives for the storage of work. This equipment is essential to my course and something that will help me long beyond graduation. The scholarship has also funded travel to and from various places when required to film short news stories for the student news channel Quays News. I would like to say thank you to the Trustees of the Lady Monica Cockfield Memorial Trust; without your support, students like me would find studying a lot harder, with the burdens of financial worry ever present and I would have been unable to experience some things which have been extremely beneficial to me whilst studying at Salford.”

We wish Jim and Gemma all the best for their future!

We are delighted that the Trust will be continuing the scholarship for two new students starting this autumn.

INSPIRING SALFORD MENTORING SCHEME We are immensely proud of our strong track record in supporting less privileged and under-represented groups of students, local people and children in the wider community, to inspire them to aim for a university education.

‘Inspiring Salford’ is an initiative which brings together student volunteers, alumni and academic staff with local children and young people to share their love of learning, increase opportunities and widen access to higher education. Our High School Mentoring Project facilitates the placement of Salford students as mentors in local schools, providing children with positive role models and academic support in the hope of raising their aspirations.

An exceptional student experience is at the heart of what the University of Salford strives to achieve, and we also want to change the lives of those in the communities we work with, and reach out to the students of tomorrow. With the support we have received so far, we have helped raise the aspirations of pupils in local schools and challenge misconceptions. We passionately believe in supporting our community, and thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we can continue to do this.

“This time last year I did not know who or what I was to become and this experience enlightened me and introduced me to teaching and Teach First, raising my aspirations. The programme taught me how to engage with pupils and I’ve learnt a lot about ‘the procedures in place to ensure the safeguarding of pupils. Whatever fear or anxiety you may have before stepping into a school is completely dispelled when you realise how much students appreciate you just being there.”

- Richard Bradley, BSc Biology, 2015.

Richard has since gone on to secure a graduate position through Teach First, one of the country’s leading teacher training providers.

SUPPORTING FUTURE ENGINEERS WITH THE GERRY MASON SCHOLARSHIP The support of the Gerry Mason Engineering Excellence Scholarships continues to reach even more deserving students as a further ten scholarships were awarded in October 2016.

I was humbled, proud and excited. Words cannot describe the thanks I owe the Mason family, they have given me the chance to succeed and for that I will be eternally grateful.”

Gerry Mason was the founder of Salford Recruitment and Engineering firm Morson International and pledged to encourage and support students in engineering at the University of Salford. Gerry sadly passed away in 2015 before he could meet the recipients of his support. His family, however, have continued his legacy by awarding the Gerry Mason Engineering Excellence Scholarships to the newest cohort of scholars and we were delighted to welcome Margaret and her three daughters Natasha, Carmen and Sara to campus again to meet with them.

James Kelly, who is now on the third year of his course and was one of the first recipients of the scholarship, said: “Without the scholarship, I would have had to find a part-time job during term time, limiting the amount of time I would have had to study. Particularly during the exam period, the scholarship allowed me to dedicate as much time as possible to my studies and I am very grateful to Mason family for this.”

Callum Parker, one of the recipients of the scholarship, said: “When I found out I had been awarded a scholarship

So far, the Gerry Mason Engineering Excellence Scholarship has helped 15 young people and we are proud to be able to continue this invaluable support by offering a further 15 scholarships this year.’

MORSON MAKER SPACE With the generous support of Morson International we are creating a new on-campus manufacturing hub, known as the ‘Morson Maker-Space’.

The new Maker Space has been set up temporarily at Alumni House in Acton Square with a variety of fabrication machines up and running, including laser cutting and 3D printing. Currently the Maker Space is only open to staff and students on selected courses of the University, but once its permanent home is ready, it will be open for use by all students as well as industry partners.

The fabrication machines can be used to create a wide variety of objects and designs, including jewellery, model building for architecture and prosthetics. Students will learn how to design their creations and how to set up and use the machines, so that they develop practical knowledge and skills that could open up potential opportunities for them in the future.

“It’s an incredible opportunity to bring about new digital skillsets and collaborative practices in making and prototyping. I see the Maker Space as a flagship for attracting the next generation of high calibre students, and enable industry to work alongside our research expertise to champion our motto MAKE in SALFORD.” - Dr Maria Stukoff, Director of Maker Space.

The Morson Group is also a partner of the Girls’ Network, which inspires and empowers young women from disadvantaged communities by connecting them with a mentor and a network of leading female role models. As part of the alliance, the Morson Group and Girls’ Network is launching a Salford group to help local girls. Ged Mason, CEO of the Morson Group, said: “Our aim is to inspire the next generation of engineers and also showcase the skills required to work in engineering to help women in other sectors realise what transferable skills they have and their career prospects in this industry.”

Morson International has more than 1,800 female contractors working in various roles throughout the globe, yet female engineers make up less than 10% of the workforce, according to the Women’s Engineering Society. Morson International has launched a new campaign to encourage more women into engineering roles by pledging to double its current numbers by the end of the decade.

The new members of the growing Gerry Mason Engineering Excellence scholar family with the Mason family, Jackie Kay, Chancellor, and Richard Stephenson, Deputy Vice Chancellor.

Professor Haifa Takruri-Rizk, a lecturer in electrical engineering at Salford and MBE for services to women’s engineering, said: “Our female graduates do very well in the world of engineering but we are still wasting a lot of talent because of outdated stereotypes.

We need more companies like Morson to work with universities and schools to build a diverse and dynamic workforce.”

SUPPORTING STUDENTS In 2016/17, over 80 scholars benefited from a scholarship or bursary thanks to the support from the Salford community.

MICA MOXHAM, SOCIAL WORK, CLASS OF 2019 “When I was 11 years old I lost my mum just after Christmas.

She had been fighting cancer for seven years so when she passed away, my brother and I were brought up in care homes and by our grandparents. When I was little I promised my mum I would go to university and I really wanted to make her proud.

I chose to study social work at Salford because my social worker has done so much for me, and has changed my life for the better. He’s given so much support to me and I would love to be able to do that for other people in my situation or similar.

It means so much to me knowing that I’m cared for and I feel everyone else deserves to be cared for too.

This bursary will help me with managing my bills and finances in my new home as it’s the first time I have lived on my own. It makes a big difference to me as I don’t have any financial support from family so it’s a great weight lifted off my shoulders. And receiving this bursary has an impact not just on me, but on my brother as well because I can help to support him too.

“I CHOSE TO STUDY SOCIAL WORK AT SALFORD BECAUSE MY SOCIAL WORKER HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR ME AND HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER. “

I feel that most care leavers believe that they are not good enough and they don’t have family to help them, but this bursary shows that people do care. I think it is so amazing that people are willing to help those in need. I would like to thank you massively for making this possible; it’s truly a lovely feeling to know that somebody does care and is giving me the opportunity to achieve my dreams. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible and I couldn’t be more grateful. I hope one day I can return the favour to those who are in need, just like me.“

SUPPORTING STUDENTS

SMALL GIFTS COMBINE TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE Small gifts, when combined together, can have a huge impact on the life of a scholar. Courtney Wilson, a first year student from London, has eight siblings and is the first in his family to attend university.

Inspired by investigative journalists such as Bob Woodward and Sarah Koenig, Courtney hopes to follow in their footsteps by studying English and Journalism and recently completed a week-long placement at The Guardian.

“I’m very interested in international politics and equal rights, especially within feminism and people of colour. While I was at sixth form I was offered the role of equal rights officer, which opened doors for me and gave me strong clarity about my goals. I hope to have a career where I get to expose wrong doings, such as illegal money laundering, the war in Syria and corrupt government officials.”

Supporting our students doesn’t just have an impact on the scholar’s life, but on those around them as well.

“I’ve always provided emotional and financial support for my family. I want to pave the best route for them as possible and I hope to be an ambassador for other care leavers too. This bursary isn’t just giving me monetary support, it is a strong motivator and reminder for me that it doesn’t matter where you come from, but where you are going. Thank you!”

“I’VE ALWAYS PROVIDED EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MY FAMILY. I WANT TO PAVE THE BEST ROUTE FOR THEM AS POSSIBLE AND I HOPE TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR OTHER CARE LEAVERS TOO.”

CAMPUS INITIATIVES SALFORD STUDENTS TAKE FLIGHT WITH DONOR SUPPORT Learning to fly a plane takes years of lessons and experience with computer simulations and hands-on piloting, learning to successfully navigate your way through the sky. But students at Salford are receiving more practical experience with the University’s Flight Simulation Society (FSS) thanks to the Campus Initiatives fund.

Established in 2014, FSS welcomes students from all courses to join, although the majority of members are students studying aviation based courses. As a member of the society, the students participate in a programme of flying and ground training to improve their skills in both planning and carrying out a flight. The society was originally operating with one specialist computer but with donor funding from the Campus Initiatives fund, they were able to purchase a second computer, increasing participation for the students.

Flight simulation software relies on powerful hardware, therefore the society needed a high-quality computer that is able to handle the programmes, which cost significantly more than a standard computer. The additional hardware that has been purchased features commercial-grade simulation software, which accurately recreates various flight scenarios and conditions almost identical to real life.

The new equipment has been able to improve the experience for members in a number of different ways. Waiting and loading times have significantly reduced and members are now

able to experience more realistic and accurate flight dynamics and visuals. Additionally, the new system is now capable of running professionally-acclaimed aircraft simulations.

The FSS are frequent contributors at events around campus, bringing the simulator to Applicant Visit Day, the Donor Thank You Event, and the Welcome Week Activities Fair. This helps to raise the profile and on-campus presence of the group and provides both students and staff with no flying/engineering backgrounds to take part in a unique learning experience on how aircraft fly. With this latest technological addition to the society, the student-led group continues to grow, providing an opportunity for students to realise and expand upon their passion for aviation.

This is just one of the projects supported by the Campus Initiatives Fund this year. You can find out more about the impact of this fund in the From Salford alumni magazine or by visiting www.salford.ac.uk/giving/ priorities/campus-initiatives

SUPPORTING CLIFFORD WHITWORTH LIBRARY While the layout and materials within the Clifford Whitworth Library have changed over the last fifty years, its central location in the heart of the campus and its purpose as a space for learning and studying has remained constant.

Now open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the library provides more than just study rooms and books for students; from running workshops on academic writing and how to give presentations, to laptop loans and access to hundreds of databases, all students, regardless of study level, use the library in one way or another. The importance of this resource, and the desire from alumni to support the library has lead us to create the University Library Fund as a dedicated area of support.

This year support to the University Library Fund went to support the purchase of over 40 e-books. Now a popular option for course modules, e-books allow students access both on and off campus at any time of the day and avoid waiting for copies to come back that are out on loan.

E-books also allow borrowers to make notes, export citations and search the book for keywords, in addition to cutting down on textbook costs for students. All books that have been purchased with support from the University Library Fund have bookplates on the front page, notifying the borrower that philanthropic support made the purchase of that e-book possible.

With the Library Redevelopment Project nearing completion, expected to be finished in December 2017, we’re hoping that future support from the Fund will go towards purchasing other necessary resources for students, having a direct impact on the student experience. With many students not able to purchase laptops of their own, the loan a laptop scheme and availability of PCs within the Library has become increasingly more important.

SALFORD DEMENTIA HUB

Dementia Hub Garden

The Salford Institute of Dementia’s Hub was opened on the 17th of May 2017 by Salford-born actor and Salford University alumnus Christopher Eccleston, and associate of the Salford Institute for Dementia and ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Society, Ann Johnson.

The £300,000 centre, located in the Allerton Building of Frederick Road Campus, features a dementia friendly garden and a visitors centre designed to look as much like a home as possible and will be a base for the University’s Dementia Associates. The centre contains a special kitchen built to demonstrate the latest dementia friendly designs, with a glass fronted fridge and cupboards and colour cues to help people with dementia understand the environment.

The Institute takes a person-centred approach working directly with people affected by dementia and their carers to understand their concerns. Their ideas and opinions were taken on board when designing the Hub and planning the activities on offer.

The Hub aims to be an outreach centre for the public to access the latest research and ideas about living well with dementia. People with dementia and their carers can visit the Hub to take part in activities such as gardening and dancing, and to get guidance from others who have experienced the condition, while researchers from across the University will also work there.

The Dementia Hub was made possible thanks to the generous philanthropic support of our donors including the Garfield Weston Foundation, Wolfson Foundation and many of our

regular and individual donors. The flooring was also donated by Polyflor.

THE GOOD-LIFE CLUB The Salford Institute for Dementia works to help those affected with dementia to live better lives now. The Institute conducts research into different aspects that can affect the wellbeing of someone living with dementia including their home environment, using technological solutions, support networks and the arts. Bringing all of these aspects together, we work with partners and colleagues in the UK and internationally to change the way we all live and work, to improve the lives of people living with dementia.

The Institute has started a new group for people living with dementia called the Good Life Club, an initiative that encourages activities that promote well-being. Members have started with gardening and have planted herbs and spinach with the support of the University’s gardening team.

With the launch of the Hub, the popular dementia cafes (now renamed SID’s Café) and other social and community events, will have a permanent place on campus in a dementia friendly environment.

LEAVING A GIFT IN YOUR WILL We are honoured that some of our alumni and friends choose to remember us in their wills – it’s a fantastic way for us to celebrate their lives whilst also helping current students to achieve great things. Recently, the Herbert and Ethel Harwood Memorial Funds were set up in order to support the next generation of engineers and accountants, helping them to flourish in their respective fields.

Herbert and Ethel Harwood

“WHEN HERBERT PASSED AWAY ETHEL SET UP THE PRIZES AS A WAY OF COMMEMORATING HIM”

Herbert Harwood’s record card from the 1930’s

Herbert Harwood studied at Salford from 1932-36, when we were still known as the Salford Royal Technical College. After graduating, he worked as a structural engineer for the Commonwealth Government. His wife Ethel took courses in shorthand, typing and bookkeeping at another institution before gaining a teaching certificate at Adelaide Teacher’s College in Australia.

After they retired they returned to Britain, and when Herbert passed away, Ethel decided to leave a gift to the University in her will as a way to commemorate her husband’s life.

When Ethel herself passed away, her legacy was used to establish the Ethel and Herbert Harwood Memorial Prizes. These are £500 prizes for the students who complete the most successful industry placement year in

Civil Engineering and Accounting and Finance, reflecting Ethel and Herbert’s interests in their lifetimes. They were particularly keen to make sure that their generosity impacted students well into the future and with this in mind, the legacy was used to establish an endowment meaning that these prizes will be awarded annually.

Amy Robson is the first student to receive the Herbert Harwood Memorial Prize and recently graduated in MEng Civil Engineering with a first class honours. Amy worked with Sir Robert McAlpine as a Site Engineer during her industrial placement year.

She was a part of the construction of the Victoria Gate Shopping Centre in Leeds. She made a great impression and they offered her a graduate position to start after she graduated.

Amy says, “I am thankful to have been nominated for the Herbert Harwood Memorial Prize as it is a wonderful way to acknowledge my time spent on an industrial placement, as it really did enhance my knowledge and reassured me that this is the career I want to take. I am also hopeful that it will inspire others to take the risk of putting education on hold so as to truly understand the connection between the theory taught in lectures and the construction industry itself.”

The Ethel Harwood Memorial Prize has now been awarded to Sophie Whiston, a final year Accounting and Finance student. Sophie completed a placement year at Booth Ainsworth LLP and has been offered a graduate role with the company upon the completion of her degree.

Sophie Whiston

Every year, we offer a number of scholarships and bursaries to young people who might otherwise be discouraged from higher education and we’ve invested in our campus to create world-class learning environments that will ensure future students have the best university experience possible.

None of this would be possible without the philanthropic support that we receive. If you would like to find out more you can speak to a member of the Development Team on 0161 2953831 or legacies@salford. ac.uk or visit www.salford.ac.uk/ giving/ways/legacies

& JUBILEE FUND Throughout this year we have been celebrating the University’s 50th anniversary year, since it was granted the Royal Charter and University status in 1967. Special events have included the unveiling of the new University Coat of Arms and an industry event at the House of Lords. The celebrations will continue for the rest of the year and we hope that you’ll be able to join us at some of these special events.

As part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, we’re extremely proud to announce the ‘67 for 67’ campaign. Our goals is to create 67 donor-funded scholarships and bursaries for new students to be awarded during our jubilee year.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to succeed at university, regardless of their financial circumstances. Our scholarship and bursaries programme allows us to support those students who most need our help.

We are now nine months into the campaign and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support that our alumni have offered us. With the added advantage of the Jubilee Fund matching gifts pound-for-pound, we have now raised an additional £84,000 in support of our students!
