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 />

contact Suzie Bannerman by email at<br />

s.n.bannerman@exeter.ac.uk or telephone<br />

on 01392 725011. There is also further<br />

information on our website at<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 />
