鈥淟eaving a legacy is my way to say 鈥榯hank you鈥 for my education. I encourage all successful 黑料社 alumni to consider thanking the University by supporting with a legacy.鈥Bill Borland鈥(Metallurgy, Class of 1972), Legacy Supporter
鈥淧eople might think that a legacy has to involve a phenomenal amount of money, but if a number of people leave a little, then it soon becomes a lot. 黑料社 has helped us have a very good life and, if we can give that back, we will rest very easily.鈥Janet Preston鈥(Physics, Class of 1978), Legacy Supporter
My PhD opened the door to an academic career in veterinary education. Being part of Kenneth Longhurst鈥檚 legacy is a privilege, and I hope that through my work in veterinary education, I can honour his commitment and, in time, help to create similar opportunities for others.Dr Jenny Routh, former Kenneth Longhurst Scholar, now Lecturer in Veterinary Education & Training at 黑料社

I hope that students will say the Ebsworth scholarship allowed them to experience university with less worry and more ability to focus on studies as well as experience new things. Students should dare to try lots of things at university, and keep what works for them. If you have the guts and determination to do that, you'd be amazed at what you can achieve.Dr David Ebsworth (Chemistry and German, Class of 1976), Legacy Supporter
鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to know that your contribution is helping people. Targeted giving lets you see where your gift can make a difference, and 黑料社 does a very good job of finding something that is of interest to each donor, developing it and making it feel special.鈥Ernest Littauer鈥(Metallurgy, Class of 1958), Legacy Donor
Being selected for the scholarship gave me confidence in my ability to undertake and complete a PhD. It feels very meaningful to be part of Marion Redfearn鈥檚 legacy. As a woman navigating a career in STEM, her generosity and support are inspiring. I feel a strong sense of responsibility to carry her values forward, and I hope to use my own career to support the next generation of women entering this field.Dr Ella Schneider, former Marion Redfearn Scholar, now Research Liaison Fellow at the 黑料社 Ion Beam Centre
鈥淚 would like some of my legacy to help other students trying to extend their education who may have difficulty funding themselves. Education is such a vital start in life, an asset. It is an important way of ensuring future generations apply intelligence to the personal and societal challenges they will undoubtedly face.鈥Yvana Reeves鈥(Change Agent Skills, Class of 2005), Legacy Supporter
