SOCIETAS - University of Liverpool

Dear donors,
Since joining the University, I have already
had the pleasure of meeting a number of
supporters from overseas and the UK, and
been struck, not only by their enthusiasm
for the University itself, but also by their
interest in its future growth. Donations of
any size make a huge difference, and I
would like to thank you for your support.
As a leading research-led institution, our long term
strategy is focussed on developing Liverpool into a truly
global university through research linkages and building
world class collaborations with new countries. I want
our University to become a global brand offering an
unrivalled student experience while continuing to
develop our excellence in widening participation.
A MESSAGE
FROM PROFESSOR
SIR HOWARD NEWBY
In order to help achieve this we rely on the generosity
of our donors to help fund scholarships, to help improve
the University’s facilities, and to invest in the next
generation of high calibre leaders and innovators.
I hope you will continue to support us and, perhaps,
even extend your generosity with a donation, transfer
of shares, or a legacy pledge. Combined with the
government’s new Voluntary Giving initiative (see page 7)
these tax-efficient methods of giving provide a valuable
opportunity for you to help us raise the funding we need
for the University to continue to thrive.
This is the University’s first publication to focus entirely
on donor-related news. I look forward to keeping you
updated and involved in our activities in the coming
months and years, and showing you how your gifts to
the University are making a real impact on students,
staff and our society at large.
With kind regards
Professor Sir Howard Newby
Vice-Chancellor
