Hugh MacDougald (Law 1976) has<br />
been elected as the new Chair <strong>of</strong><br />
the Devonshire Circle – a group <strong>of</strong><br />
alumni who have remembered the<br />
<strong>University</strong> in their wills.<br />
Legacies are important to the <strong>University</strong><br />
because they help support current students<br />
and <strong>of</strong>fer opportunities to fund world-class<br />
facilities and research. Every gift, no matter<br />
what size, makes a real difference.<br />
A part <strong>of</strong> Hugh’s role as Chair is to help<br />
reach the target <strong>of</strong> securing 250 pledges<br />
in the current campaign: Creating a worldclass<br />
<strong>University</strong> together. So far 185<br />
alumni have become legacy pledgers,<br />
and in the past five years more than<br />
£700,000 has been received by the<br />
<strong>University</strong> in legacy gifts.<br />
A new leaflet, Your Goodwill Guide, is now<br />
available and <strong>of</strong>fers all the information you<br />
need to leave a legacy. Alternatively,<br />

Suzie is also keen to hear from any<br />
supporters who have already included the<br />
<strong>University</strong> in their will. This will ensure<br />
they are thanked properly and welcomed<br />
into the Devonshire Circle.<br />
