It's good to talk!

From the 20 June – 9 July 13 current Churchill students took to the phones to connect with our alumni community, build relationships and raise vital funds for this year’s Annual Fund Campaign.

Once again our students enjoyed a wide range of wonderful conversations with 655 alumni, a record-breaking 58% of whom decided to make a gift in support of the campaign benefiting Student Bursaries, Graduate Studentships and unrestricted funds. A fantastic £207,576 was pledged over three years - rising to almost £400,000 when longer-term pledges are taken into account.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us during this campaign. Our student callers gained a huge amount of life insight and careers advice as well as raising funds for the College. You can hear more about the experiences of our student callers in the short video found here.

Rowing back the years!

The Reunion Dinner for our 1977-81 alumni last month prompted Fellow Dr Dave Green to dig out some photos of the Boat Club in the 1970s. You can see the pics, along with photos of the alumni who took to the water after their reunion dinner last month on the Boat Club Facebook page.

A call for your historical snaps of the grounds and gardens

Readers may recall seeing this fantastic photo of our Winston Oak in last month's E-bulletin, taken by David White (U78) around 1978. The College is currently producing two books: a short Garden Guide, to be published later this year; and a lengthier, more detailed history of the grounds and gardens since they were first laid out in 1959. We would love to use any historical photos our alumni took during their time here. Do email any in!
