The Braithwaite Family Foundation Scholarship – Becca Ealden, MSc Medical Physics

In 2013, Becca Ealden became the second student to receive a scholarship funded by Civil Engineering alumnus Chris Braithwaite and his wife Lynette though their charitable foundation which supports her in her studies.

“The MSc in Medical Physics has been a challenging yet enjoyable experience, which would have been impossible to complete without the generous support provided by the Braithwaite Family Foundation Scholarship. In addition to financial aid, Chris and Lynette have generously given up their personal time to meet with me to discuss my progress and provide sound advice regarding my future. I would like to acknowledge their contribution and express my sincere gratitude to the Braithwaite family.

Jim O’Neill Scholarship – Hannah Rowell, BSc Economics

Hannah Rowell became the second student supported in Economics with a scholarship funded by former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management International and PhD Economics alumnus Dr Jim O’Neill.

“The scholarship has enabled me to fund my studies in a way that I didn’t think would be possible. This has meant that I have been able to push myself further to succeed academically. I am humbled to be associated with Jim O’Neill and it means an awful lot to me that there is someone like him believing in my ability.

The Guildford Academic Associates Scholarship – Fabien Johnson, BSc Biomedical Science

Guildford Academic Associates (GAA) is a charitable trust formed by former Battersea and then Surrey academics Drs Eric and Joan Reid and supports a range of subjects across biosciences and chemistry. Fabien Johnson was one of four students to be awarded a GAA scholarship in 2013.

“The scholarship has allowed me to invest in my education and personal development which has included paying for membership fees of professional societies which provide career-orientated training courses, often requiring the expense of travel. Reading Dr Eric Reid’s inspirational obituary highlighted his dedication to his work and research and leaves me with aspirations of achieving great education feats of my own.”

David Ebsworth Scholarship – Rachel Wright, BA German and Translation

Dr David Ebsworth, who studied for a BSc in Chemistry at Surrey and then a PhD in Linguistics and International Studies, has funded a scholarship to support students studying German. Rachel Wright became his first scholar in 2013.

“I believe that my ongoing success would not be possible without the aid of the David Ebsworth Scholarship. It enabled me to fund two trips over the summer. In total, I spent five weeks living with native German speakers, which provided me with plenty of opportunities to practise an area of language learning that I have found difficult in the past.”

The generosity of donors has an increasing role in the growth and success of many of the UK’s universities. Across the sector, fundraising is expanding dramatically as more universities realise the transformative role philanthropy can play.

Philanthropy is not just about money and new buildings. Donors can add value through direct engagement with students and academics through important research collaborations, mentoring or giving their valuable time.

The University’s Volunteering Programme has gone from strength to strength since we launched it a year ago and I would like to acknowledge the support of all our volunteers whose gift of time is of inestimable value.

Nurturing talent is one of the three areas that will be supported by the new Battersea Fund. The Fund was launched earlier this year with a significant contribution from Battersea graduates and it will help ensure that the University continues to attract and support the most talented students, regardless of their financial means.

Our Battersea heritage is extremely important to us and, alongside the Fund, we launched the ‘Build Our History’ project. By providing a personal record of the lives of our Battersea alumni we hope to connect current students to the history of their University and inspire future generations.

Construction of Surrey’s pioneering £45m School of Veterinary Medicine is progressing well. We are working with an extensive network of partners in clinical practice, research and industry to ensure that the School continues to push the boundaries in teaching and research.

Corporate partners continue to play a significant role in the development of the University, its staff and students. We work with over 2,300 partner organisations to provide students with vital experience of the professional environment, and facilities such as Surrey Sports Park afford opportunities for us to work with major companies to enhance the student experience.

This year, the Annual Fund added to that experience by awarding a vital grant to Team Surrey clubs to improve the conditions under which teams train and help strengthen our reputation as an excellent sports university.

The support we receive from individuals and organisations continues to play an ever more critical role in Surrey’s development. We are truly grateful for your time, engagement and support which contributes directly towards enriching the environment and experience of our students.

Professor Sir Christopher Snowden FRS, FREng President and Vice-Chancellor

Welcome and thank-you from the President and Vice-Chancellor

The Annual Fund has a direct effect on the lives of thousands of students studying at Surrey, supporting new facilities and opportunities and helping those in financial need.

This year, Team Surrey was incredibly fortunate to receive a generous award of £58,000 from the Annual Fund, one that will be invaluable in supporting our progress. Today, it has almost become customary to suffer budget cuts, so we are incredibly grateful to receive such a large sum and we have made sure it has been put to good use!

This money has largely contributed to the refurbishment of our storage area at Surrey Sports Park, meaning that numerous clubs now have their own personal and secure space. In addition to this, teams such as cheerleading, canoe, boat, sailing and our triathlon club have been able to buy new equipment to aid their development. I cannot stress enough how important this is in allowing our clubs to develop, providing further opportunities for more students to participate in sport and recreational activities.

With our aspiring aims to continue to push Team Surrey even higher up the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) league tables, the funding will be fundamental in our growth. On behalf of Team Surrey, we would like to thank you all for your continuing support.

Dan JacobsVice-President Sports and Recreation The University of Surrey Students’ Union

The Annual Fund is fundamental to our growth

Sport plays a huge part in many students’ lives, whether for fun, fitness or competition, with more than 3,000 playing on a regular basis. Each year, the Annual Funds adds to that experience by allocating grants for vital kit and equipment, and this year almost £60,000 was awarded to Team Surrey clubs.

These investments improve the environment and conditions in which teams train so they will be much better prepared for competitions at all levels. This will enable them to continue their climb up the BUCS (British Universities and

Colleges Sport) league tables and attract new members. Last season, Surrey reached its target of a top 40 finish, securing 36th place - just four years ago we were ranked 75th.

The clubs that benefited from Annual Fund support this year are rugby, cheerleading, sailing, boat, triathlon and canoe. They will use their share to purchase essential equipment, such as boats, bikes and cheerleading mats, and upgrade their facilities, including floodlights for pitches and outdoor storage cages.

Strengthening Surrey’s sporting reputation

The funding received from the Annual Fund will be fundamental in our growth. On behalf of Team Surrey, we would like to thank you all for your continuing support.

Dan JacobsVice-President Sports and Recreation The University of Surrey Students’ Union

The Surrey Angels cheerleading club received £6,750 from the Annual Fund to buy a full set of nine mats to enable the competition squad to prepare for championships and Varsity events. Surrey Angels’ president Heather Lapp said: “Last season, we were more successful than ever before - we won both the Southern Regional Championships and the Future Cheer University Championships. We hope to continue our success with the new mats for many years to come!”

Team Surrey Canoe Club was awarded £9,500 for new boats and other equipment so members can develop canoe polo. Despite being in its infancy as a University sport, it has attracted a lot of interest from students. Rhys Bryant, from the club, said: “Our canoes up to now have been slow, heavy and potentially dangerous. With better equipment we will be able to achieve more BUCS points and increase in size and participation. We can’t thank donors enough.”

Heartfelt support

The health of our students is as important as their academic studies to the University and we offer practical information and advice about how to manage their well-being throughout the year. To support this endeavour, the Annual Fund has awarded £3,500 for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) screenings, following a very successful first event.

Surrey Sports Park hosted two free CRY sessions last year at the Surrey Human Performance Institute and the Wellbeing Studio. Students were given an electrocardiogram (ECG), a simple test which records the electrical activity of your heart. This was then examined by a cardiologist who could offer a more detailed echocardiogram and a referral to a consultant if further investigation was required. The first event screened 92 students, five of whom had an echo and four of those were referred to a specialist.

By supporting the CRY event, the Annual Fund is raising awareness of cardiac health in our students, and might also help save a life – 12 young people die suddenly each week in the UK of previously undetected heart problems.

Character roles add to nursing experience

Putting theory into practice is a crucial part of any nursing and paramedics training but new students are often worried about caring for a real patient for the first time.

To ensure undergraduates feel more confident about their clinical work, the Annual Fund has awarded £9,100 for MASK-ED, a simulation technique which involves the use of silicon props to transform tutors into a set of characters with differing medical needs.

The props, which include masks, torsos, hands and feet, are worn over the specially trained lecturers who then use their ‘characters’ to reinforce classroom teaching.

Dr Maria Miklaucich, Teaching Fellow Integrated Care, said: “MASK-ED promotes students’ self-confidence and enables them to think about how

their theory works in practice. From the outset they are connected to the character and the students get to know them as they would a patient. They really get immersed in their lives.”

The simulation techniques will benefit more than 1,000 students across our professional preparatory programmes, including nursing (adult, mental health, and child), paramedic practice, midwifery, and veterinary medicine.

Allison Wiseman, Senior Teaching Fellow Integrated Care, said: “We may only be in character for 20 to 30 minutes but in that time we can cover four hours of teaching. This programme is new for the UK and we are at the forefront of developing MASK-ED to enhance further our teaching and learning in a safe environment. We are very grateful for the support of Annual Fund donors.”

Julia Kazana thought she would have to give up her studies, when the Student Hardship Fund offered her a lifeline. A doctoral researcher in sociology, Julia reached a point when she had no money to pay her rent or bills because her bank would not advance a student loan or give her an overdraft.

The grant Julia received relieved the mounting pressure and enabled her to get back on track. She said: “The Student Support Services were there to help during this very tough moment. I will keep wrestling, exactly as before, until I complete my studies, but this vital support has made me realise that I am not alone.”

The Fund helps students who are experiencing severe financial difficulties and are ineligible for mainstream funding. Demand for financial assistance always exceeds supply; between August 2013 and July 2014, nearly 400 hardship grants were provided by Student Support Services.

As a result, the Annual Fund has increased its contribution by 40 per cent and allocated £70,000 to continue providing a safety net for those who fall on hard times through no fault of their own.

Craig Lowe, Director of Student Support, said: “The Student Hardship Fund is, in my eyes, the most rewarding, direct and cost-effective way to support struggling students. Each gift helps talented students fulfil their potential and become the next generation of pioneering scientists, world-leading engineers, innovative entrepreneurs and responsible leaders.”

This autumn, Surrey welcomed more than 4,000 first-year students, among them a very special group of 48. These undergraduates are the first in our School of Veterinary Medicine, only the second new one in the UK for 65 years.

From day one, they have been putting knowledge gained into practice, an approach the new School strongly believes is the best way to ensure our students are ready for the challenges of the 21st Century – controlling the spread of infectious diseases, in animals and humans, and ensuring we have enough safe food to feed nine billion people.

Our School is unique in having a range of partners, an interdisciplinary approach and in providing a broad curriculum that will equip our students to work in clinical practice or to pursue a wide range of other animal-related careers.

Skills learnt in the classroom will be further enhanced through the Clinical Skills Centre and veterinary pathology and biomechanical labs in our purpose-built School on Manor Park campus, due to open in 2015. Professor Gail Anderson, Head of Veterinary Education and Veterinary Clinical Sciences, said: “We want our students to gain technical skills early so they feel confident about going into a, pressurised environment. They are able to practise in our laboratories and mock clinical settings. “We also want to educate veterinary undergraduates about how to care for themselves to give them the tools to be more resilient when they go into practice. This is a very important strand to our programme. The veterinary profession can be challenging and stressful but we hope by preparing our students they will enjoy successful and fulfilling careers.”

Alongside equipping our students with practical and emotional skills, the School believes an international perspective on all aspects of veterinary science is one that future generations of vets will need.

This extends to not only having international collaborations but also in the teaching and research staff of the School. This wide range of academic expertise exposes students to veterinary medicine practice in many parts of the world and the global issues around animals and public health. These challenges underpin Surrey’s approach, the One Health – One Medicine ethos. It focuses on making advances in healthcare for both humans and animals through collaborations between vets, doctors, dentists, nurses and other health-related professionals. Professor Alasdair Cook, Head of Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health, said: “Our students need to understand they are part of a global community. We have a fundamental belief that vets could and should help the developing world; students need to be involved with that and we would like to offer all our students the opportunity to go on an international placement.”

Surrey is proud of the high-calibre students we attract. Each year, many are rewarded for their hard work and commitment by receiving prizes which recognise their academic endeavour. We thank the generous alumni, friends and organisations whose support for these prizes ensures student achievement is celebrated.

Prizes reward student commitment

University of Surrey | Making a difference

GSA students choose prize-winner

As a music graduate, Lucy Evans, who also works for the University, wanted to set up a prize for a student who shared her love of the subject. The result is an award for the best performance by a final year Guildford School of Acting (GSA) undergraduate studying musical theatre. However, this award is slightly different in that students choose the winner.

Lucy said: “This award is a thank-you for all the enjoyment GSA performances have given me for many years. It appealed to me that the prize will be awarded democratically, based on a vote by the students themselves. After all, who knows better the hours of practice and commitment that goes in to a performance than your peers?”

A tradition from our days as Battersea Polytechnic continues still at Surrey in the form of the Wells Medal for the student with the best overall result from a MEng programme.

Named after the first principal of Battersea, Professor Sydney Wells, the original medal was last presented in 1963, but a generous donation from the 1954 recipient, Dr John Neill, has made it possible to award engraved replica medals in the years to come.

This year’s winner, Michelle Hicks, who also won four other prizes, said: “Receiving the Wells Medal was the perfect way to celebrate my time at Surrey and I am honoured to be included on the list of Wells Medallists. I hope the award of this medal can be continued well into the future to celebrate the achievements of students as well as serving as a reminder of the heritage of the University.”

Medal celebrates Battersea connection

Inspirational teacher remembered

The life and career of chemical engineering professor Russell Tailby is remembered in a prize in his name. Former Battersea students Professor David Wood and Mike Banfield were instrumental in setting up the original fund with the University. Professor Tailby was the first full-time lecturer in the subject at Battersea Polytechnic in 1946, and later the first professor at Surrey.

The Tailby Prize is awarded to the highest performing MEng student in Chemical Engineering. The 2014 prize-winner was Bianca Borg, who is now working as a graduate engineer at ExxonMobil. She said: “It was great to win as it felt like all the hard work I put into the degree was acknowledged.”

Aldi recognises students who make a difference

Four students studying business, retail and management programmes each year receive prizes from supermarket Aldi by demonstrating the difference they have made while at University during the past year. Three prizes of £250 were awarded for each degree level and first-year student Melissa Topcuoglu won the £500 overall prize. She packed a lot into her year at Surrey, becoming a student representative, volunteering and working on Stag Radio.

She said: “Winning the top Aldi student prize is such an honour. The opportunities for both personal and professional development given to us here have helped me to grow as a person and prepare for life after university. I am very proud to be a Surrey student and look forward to a new year of education and experiences!”

The School of Veterinary Medicine has many research collaborations which include:

» Petplan Charitable Trust, one of the UK’s largest animal welfare charities, has awarded almost £100,000 for a two-year project to investigate bacteria in horses’ guts to understand more about their effect on health and performance. Researchers at the University, in collaboration with Reading and Liverpool universities, will create a laboratory model of the horse’s hindgut.

» The School has won a bid to provide post-mortem examinations to the government’s Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA). Surrey serves the East Midlands and parts of the South East, the South West and North West England.

» Escherichia coli is the cause of many common, serious infections in humans and animals. In particular, it is responsible for avian colibacillosis, a complex respiratory disease that causes substantial welfare and economic costs in the poultry industry worldwide. A project with animal health company Zoetis will further our understanding of the genetic diversity of E. coli in the disease and improve its diagnosis and control.

Research support

Surrey is a founding member of the University Global Partnership Network with North Carolina State University in the US and the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Both have well-established Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and there are a number of teaching collaborations and research projects.

This partnership working strengthens the teaching and research of the School through joint appointments, ongoing research links and provision of student placements. We have most recently been joined by Professor Nick Bacon who has taken up the position of Chair of Oncology. He will also head up a new cancer and soft tissue referral service, based on Surrey Research Park, for Fitzpatrick Referrals veterinary practice, one of the School’s key partners.

The School’s veterinary pathology lab will be working with Fitzpatrick Referrals to provide rapid and accurate diagnoses for the veterinary community whose practices look after companion animals, such as dogs and cats. Our other links with institutions such as Marwell Zoo and West Point Farm Vets will allow students to gain experience in large animal practice.

With such support, including £4.9 million awarded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, we believe our innovative programme will lead to a centre of excellence for veterinary medicine and science. However, we will need additional funds to help us reach this goal.

We are looking to develop long-term relationships with people and organisations who share our vision, and whose support will:

» Shape the next generation of research and developments in animal health, welfare and global food security

» Enable the best and brightest of students to study veterinary medicine, regardless of their financial means, and to become the ambassadors and leaders of their profession

» Create veterinary professionals with a global perspective, a spirit of scientific inquiry and a strong regard for the human-animal bond.

Funding opportunities will be focused on additional equipment and materials for the Clinical Skills Centre and pathology facility, as well as major items to enhance research; key posts and activities with prime research impact; and scholarships and bursaries to enable the most able students to study and research at the University.

To learn more, or to join us now, please contact Chris Gethin, Director of Development and Alumni Relations on +44 (0)1483 689210 or at [email protected]

The veterinary profession can be challenging and stressful but we hope by preparing our students they will enjoy successful and fulfilling careers.

The University has a strong and successful track record of working with industry, both on the national and international stage. These collaborative relationships support projects that help us provide students with the highly-rated education and opportunities that Surrey is known for. Our corporate supporters provide scholarships, placements, research and project funding, and advice that contribute to our success and reputation.

We would like to thank all the organisations and businesses whose generous financial support and partnerships make a significant difference to the student experience.

Business links contribute to Surrey success

Support for student entrepreneurs

Surrey is a member the Santander Universities Global Division which provides funding for scholarships and mobility grants, as well as contributions to enhance Surrey’s links with a network of 700 universities across Latin America, Portugal, Spain and the United States.

Alongside grants to enable students and staff to study or undertake research abroad, Santander is supporting student enterprise at the University. It has contributed £10,000 towards a number of initiatives, including the ‘Kick Starter Grant’ for students who need up to £500 to develop a business idea, and ‘Start-up Loans’, aimed at those who are ready to launch their business idea but need access to funding. Santander is also supporting the Studio, a student-run shop on campus where entrepreneurs can test out their products. It’s the first permanent space of its kind in the UK.

Taylormade funding

Funding support from Taylor Made Designs (TMD) enables Surrey Sports Park (SSP) to run two of its sports franchises with Surrey United basketball team and badminton club Surrey Smashers, the latter recently signing 2010 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Carl Baxter.

TMD, which specialises in uniform, equipment and merchandise fulfilment solutions, also manages the online shop for both clubs on behalf of SSP.

Studentships aid clinical treatment

The University’s School of Psychology has been awarded two PhD studentships by the Whiteley Clinic, a specialist varicose vein treatment centre, which are supervised by Professor Jane Ogden. Philippa Tollow is exploring the impact of caring for a patient with venous leg ulcers, and how surgery affects the quality of life of patients and their carers.

Bryony Hudson is investigating patients’ experiences and recovery from ambulatory surgery following varicose vein surgery and whether the patient experience can be improved using distraction techniques. These studies will complement the extensive literature that has been generated by the clinic and help to improve patient care and outcomes.

Netball match goes down a storm

The biggest domestic netball match in the UK was made possible due to support from Freedrinks Ltd, which contributed £9,000 to enable Surrey Storm take on the Hertfordshire Mavericks at the London Olympic venue the Copper Box Arena, as part of the ZEO Netball Superleague.

Called Netball London Live, the match was watched by a 3,151-strong crowd, which saw Surrey victorious. The funding from Freedrinks, which specialises in producing soft drinks with no artificial colours, additives or sweeteners, also supported a programme of community events for children during the day.

Sports boost for youngsters

More than 2,000 children have been able to pursue sports activities thanks to funding from Optegra, experts in eye care. Surrey Sports Park offered youngsters, who had previously displayed an aptitude for a particular sport, the chance to develop their skills, with the £5,000 support funding coaching sessions.

Advancing cancer research

Surrey’s Oncology Department has benefited from £32,000 worth of funding from ANGLE, a specialist medical diagnostic company. ANGLE’s lead product is the Parsortix cell separation device, which can capture very rare circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in cancer patient blood. The team, led by Professor Hardev Pandha, is using the equipment for its pioneering research into prostate, urological and ovarian cancers.

Solid tumour cancers, such as prostate, shed cancer cells into the patient’s blood stream which circulate until either the patient’s immune system destroys them or they land in another organ, for example the lungs or brain, and start growing as secondary tumours. The Parsortix device can identify these cells even when there is less than one CTC in one billion healthy cells. A blood test then enables the investigation of mutations in the patient’s cancer for personalised care.

Leaving a legacy is a simple and flexible way of giving and yet it is often the most significant gift a person ever makes. It is an opportunity to support ground-breaking research, help your department or students directly, develop the campus or contribute to an endowment fund that will help secure the University’s long-term future.

If you would like to know more about leaving a gift in your will, please contact Kate Redrup, Legacy Manager, at [email protected] or call +44 (0)1483 689264

Let us know your intentionsIf you have already decided to provide a gift to Surrey by way of a legacy, we would be grateful if you could let us know. This will enable us to ensure that any aspects of your plans involving the University are understood and achievable. Also, we can thank you for your support during your lifetime and keep you in touch with developments at Surrey.

Legacy supporters’ lunchThe lunch is an opportunity to update supporters on University activities and recognise the generosity of our donors and the impact their gifts make to Surrey. Join us at our next lunch in spring 2015, during which guests can chat with University staff and students and meet others who have pledged a legacy.

Remember Surrey

Professor Dave Fisher wants to help Tonmeister students in the future

For 27 years Professor Dave Fisher was a lynchpin of the Sound Recording Department, teaching generations of Tonmeister students. And Dave’s involvement with the University hasn’t stopped in the three years since his retirement – he is working on a project to digitize 40 years’ worth of tapes and awards a prize each year to the student who has recorded the best classical piece of music.

However, Dave is keen to help Tonmeisters in the future and has set up a legacy to ensure his support has a lasting effect. “Surrey has been a big part of my professional life - I have made a lot of good friends and taught talented young people and I would like to do some real good for future undergraduates. I was the warden of Surrey Court for more than ten years, and in that time students would come to me with money worries that quite troubled me. I hope that my legacy will ease hardship and reward hard work.”

Particular areas that Dave would like his gift to be used for is to help students afford to take up valuable but unpaid professional training placements, provide scholarships to support those who make big improvements in their studies, and to continue his prize.

Dave’s legacy also has the added benefit of reducing inheritance tax. Any gifts made to a ‘qualifying’ charity, such as Surrey, are exempt from tax and, if at least 10% is bequeathed, the remainder of the taxable element of the estate is taxed at 36 per cent instead of 40 per cent.

Dave said: “However, my overall message to people considering leaving a legacy is: if you had a good time at Surrey and feel that it got you into a good position in life, it’s only nice to leave students something to improve their lot as well.”

Professor’s gift safeguards sound future



Investing in our future | University of Surrey

Surrey has a long tradition of educating chemical engineering students – indeed the University has the oldest continuing chemical engineering programme in England, stretching back more than 100 years.

Our courses are designed to keep pace with real-world chemical engineering issues and prepare students for the challenges in the many industries this degree has direct application to, such as energy, healthcare and pharmaceuticals.

With such a strong relevance across these industries and our focus on putting theory into practice, graduates in this discipline are highly sought after.

A key part of the programme is ensuring that students at all levels, whether first-year undergraduate or PhD, receive training in purpose-built facilities, such as the small-scale manufacturing HESS rig. Students spend one module gaining practical experience in the HESS rig, running it as if it was a real chemical company, using equipment and technology found in industry.

So highly regarded is the facility and the associated training programme that each summer the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), 2013 Nobel Peace Prize winner, sends delegates from countries around the world to be trained as chemical weapons inspectors.

Professor Rex Thorpe, Head of the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, said: “We are honoured to have supported the OPCW’s Associate Programme for so long. Surrey has a passion for the peaceful use of chemistry and we are very proud to have assisted the OPCW in ridding the world of chemical weapons.”

Ensuring that we have the best training facilities is integral to producing quality engineers to overcome the global shortage. Four out of five manufacturers are experiencing recruitment difficulties and two-thirds of those say this is because candidates lack technical skills, according to the Engineering Employers Federation UK.

This is why the donations we have received this year from engineering and construction company Fluor and Battersea graduate Dr Dennis Creasy are so important. These gifts will be used to carry out the research, development and planning work for the

refurbishment of the chemical engineering facilities. These are in urgent need of an upgrade and the initial gifts will allow us to scope and develop the project.

Once the plans are in place, the University will develop a fundraising campaign, alongside its own investment in the new facilities.

Dr Creasy, who spent six years at Battersea as undergraduate and researcher in chemical engineering, was originally inspired to become a donor in memory of one of his teachers, the late Professor Russell Tailby, the first full-time lecturer in the subject at Battersea Polytechnic in 1946, and later the first professor at Surrey.

He said “Tailby was a great teacher for whom we all had great respect. When the Tailby Prize was set up I was very happy to support it in memory of his life’s work. However, I was delighted to discover that so many others share my respect for Tailby that the prize is now self-perpetuating, but I still wish to support the department.

“New laboratories are being considered which I think is a marvellous idea. They are fearfully expensive to set up, run and keep up-to-date with modern experiments but will ensure students will have real hands-on experience by the time they graduate.”

Fluor has been a long-term supporter of the department, particularly during its centenary year in 2011. Its most recent gift will fund the scoping project to provide a multi-use experimental facility.

1909: John William Hinchley launches Battersea Polytechnic’s first Chemical Engineering course.

1949: Dr Russell Tailby becomes head of the department.

1950: Battersea produces its first

BSc graduates following Chemical

Engineering’s transition into a degree course.

1968: The Chemical Engineering department moves to Guildford following the formation of the University of Surrey in 1966.

1981: Prof Tailby is replaced as head

of department by Prof Roland Clift.

1990s: The HESS Rig – a pilot chemical process plant – is constructed on campus.

2007: Prof Rex Thorpe is named

as the newest head of department,

a position he still holds today.

2011: The University of Surrey celebrates 100 years of continuous graduations in Chemical Engineering.

1911: The first students graduate

from Hinchley’s course with diplomas.

In supporting this project at such an early stage, Dr Creasy and Fluor are playing a vital role in training tomorrow’s engineers. We would like to thank them for their generous gifts.

Twelve students received a fantastic opportunity to work and study abroad thanks to the Robert Earl Scholarship Fund. Set up by graduate Robert Earl, founder Planet Hollywood, it helps undergraduates on Hospitality and Tourism Management programmes travel overseas for an exchange or professional training placement.

In its inaugural year students spent six months in nine countries, including Brazil, Thailand and the US.

Suzanne Burgess received £2,500 for her exchange to La Trobe University in Australia. She said: “It was great to be part of a truly international university; I got to know people from the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea and numerous other countries. I was amazed how people from different parts of the world had so much in common with me. Moving to Australia was one of the best decisions I ever made. My exchange experience has certainly made me a more open-minded and confident person and the Robert Earl Scholarship played a significant part in enabling me to do this.”

Paul Voicu received £1,250 for two trainee placements at the European Parliament in Brussels, which saw him organising conferences, translating and editing European Commission documents. He said: “If you asked me if I would do this again I would most certainly say ‘YES!’ It has been a great opportunity and a privilege to be able to take part in debates, discussions and voting sessions that are decisive for the European population.”

Scholarships allow students to travel the world

Celebrating the work of nurses across the world is at the heart of the Human Rights and Nursing Award, presented by the International Care Ethics (ICE) Observatory based within Surrey’s School of Health Sciences.

The awards were set up in 2001 under ICE’s predecessor organisation, the International Centre for Nursing Ethics, and are now administered by ICE, which was established in February 2014.

Philanthropic support has been crucial in the growth and development of the scheme that rewards outstanding commitment to human rights across all fields of nursing. During the year, there were three donations to help continue the aims of the award.

Professor Ann Gallagher, ICE Director, said: “The awards recognise the achievements of exemplary nurses who contribute to the flourishing of vulnerable patients and marginalised groups. Nurses are the unsung heroes of healthcare who go quietly about their work, often in very challenging circumstances. The awards represent a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the contribution of nursing in a global context and of a few outstanding individuals.”

The 2013 winners all tirelessly work for and on behalf of people living with HIV in Australia. Dr Liz Crock is a clinical nurse consultant in Melbourne and has had a significant role in developing and evaluating its HIV programme. Her work has resulted in better continuity of care, a greater focus on health promotion, improved quality of care, improved public health, and safety for the community.

Joint winners Beth Hatch and Tom Carter have worked with some of the most marginalised and disadvantaged people living with HIV, including those with severe mental health issues or disabilities. Their approach is of international significance because the human rights-based policies, practices and philosophy of care are recognised as best practice in HIV care management.

The ICE Observatory acts as an international hub of educational, organisational and research expertise and promotes an in-depth understanding of, and commitment to, ethics in health and social care.

Civil engineering runs in the blood for Alan Waters and his family – more than 65 years after he graduated from Battersea Polytechnic, his granddaughter, Elizabeth Orchard, left Surrey with a MEng in 2010 and is now a chartered civil engineer.

These connections to the University and its predecessor institution are further strengthened by the fact that Alan met his wife Patricia, who studied Home Economics, at Battersea during the Second World War. They have now been married for more than 60 years.

His keen interest in advancing the study of engineering has in part been a deciding factor in supporting the University. “I would like to help other young people to become engineers,” he said. “I obtained a London University degree from an institution with a good name, which taught me how to learn and continue my education once I left. Most importantly, I met my wife so I can never thank Battersea enough!”

Three years ago, Alan and Patricia returned to receive honorary degrees at a ceremony which marked the 120th anniversary of the laying of the Battersea Polytechnic foundation stone on 20 July 1891 by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII).

“It was a lovely day, and it is great that I now have two degrees – one via Battersea and one from Surrey,” he said. “I’m a fan of the University and its brilliant move to what was then huts on Cathedral Hill! It still follows the philosophy of Battersea in providing highly technical and professional education which is why it’s so successful.”

Family tradition leads to University support

The University dates back 120 years when it began its life as Battersea Polytechnic. During its time, thousands of students passed through its doors until it began a new chapter as the University of Surrey in Guildford in 1966.

To celebrate our rich legacy and the foundations on which Surrey is built, we have created a new ‘Build our History’ project to create a comprehensive and lasting record of life as a student at Battersea. Alongside this we have also launched the Battersea Fund whose aim is to encourage students from poorer backgrounds to attend university, and develop highly-regarded teaching and learning facilities.

Our Battersea connections are extremely important to us and we hope that our new initiatives will inspire future generations and connect current students to the history of their University.

Remembering BatterseaThe Build our History project was officially launched at the 2014 Battersea reunion which saw more than 250 alumni and guests visit campus for lunch, a unique glimpse of our archives and an opportunity to relive their student days.

Part of the project, which has been funded by a Battersea legacy, will be to collect oral histories

regardless of their financial means. Specifically it will help in three important areas:

» Scholarships: These raise the ambitions of talented young adults from low-income families to apply to Surrey. The Battersea Fund will provide much needed financial support to students during their time here.

» Nurturing talent: Our widening participation and outreach programmes raise the aspirations of schoolchildren from under-represented groups who have the potential to progress into higher education. The Battersea Fund will support a range of workshops, summer schools and a mentoring programme, working with students, teachers and parents to promote opportunities for progression to university. It will also provide extra support and guidance to students during their studies.

» Campus development: As a leading university, the long-term development of Surrey is very important to us for attracting talented students and improving their university experience. The Battersea Fund will help enhance our campus, buildings and facilities and support our investment in teaching and research.

Our students talk with passion about what they learn at Surrey, both inside and outside of the classroom, and how determined they are to take that knowledge and make a positive impact. We hope the Battersea Fund can nurture, inspire and teach the next generation.

from graduates to provide an accurate, diverse and personal record of their lives and experiences.

We are also appealing for personal items which help bring Battersea to life. We want to enrich the collection held by the archives department with items such as letters, diaries, photographs, tickets, posters – those artefacts that illustrate what it was like living and studying at Battersea.

Finally, as part of our Forever Surrey Volunteering Programme, we will be welcoming Battersea alumnito campus to provide regular assistance to the archives department in cataloguing and identifying materials and photographs from that era.

The project has got off to a fantastic start – we have already received numerous memories, artefacts, and offers of help from Battersea graduates and we look forward to receiving many more.

A lasting tributeOur new Battersea Fund will build on the institution’s pioneering spirit and professional edge, as important today as then. Set up with more than £10,000 of inaugural gifts from a number of Battersea graduates, the Fund will ensure that the University continues to thrive and grow in teaching and research and to attract and support the most talented students,

Ensuring students understand how their research connects with the real world is one of the motivating factors behind a fund set up by alumni Daniel Iacofano and Susan Goltsman, husband and wife who met while on their Msc in Environmental Psychology course in 1980.

Named after their business, which specialises in environmental design, the pair supports the MIG Research Fund for Environmental Psychology, which awards scholarships to MSc students to carry out projects of interest to the organisation.

The principles Daniel and Susan learnt at Surrey about designing environments that promote healthy human development are at the heart of their business, based in California. Founded in 1982, MIG embraces inclusivity and encourages community interaction in all of its projects, which have included designing and redeveloping many districts in cities across America.

Supporting students who will go on to be the environmental planners of the future is important

to the couple. “Remembering our college days, even a small amount of money received for a research activity or project is very motivating and validating for students,” said Daniel. “It sends a message that their work is worthwhile and important. We also want to connect the students’ work to real-world problems that will benefit from systematic research.”

The current MIG Scholars are Will Whitfeld and Meagan Sharif.

Meagan’s project has assessed street initiatives across the US that promote walking and cycling. One of the major contributors to making these people-friendly is the use of greenery which positively affects users’ perception of the space.

Meagan said of her scholarship: “In terms of future careers, the funding from MIG has been helpful in determining a topic of interest in both academia and practice. Being exposed to the work that MIG has contributed to the field was inspiring.”

We are very fortunate that we receive support not only from our generous alumni but also from individuals who did not attend Surrey but like to contribute to the success of their local university.

Our Chair of Council, Dr Jim Glover, is not a graduate but as a Surrey resident wanted to be involved in its growth. He said: “Surrey is delivering real results in terms of talent and the positive difference it is making to society. I want to play a part in the University’s exciting programme that will make an impact on present and future students and on the local and national economy.”

Many people in the community have links with the University – some work or have worked here, have family who are graduates of Surrey or attend events throughout the year. In 2016 we are looking forward to celebrating our 50th anniversary of being in Guildford and showcasing both our history and future plans.

We value the contribution of our local supporters who help in a number of ways – donating to our Annual Fund, an invaluable resource for the student community, funding scholarships, and volunteering their time to offer mentoring, coaching and training.

One of our donors, Peter Farley, who lives near Dorking, first became involved with Surrey more than 30 years ago when he responded to a fundraising campaign directed at local magistrates. “A group of us decided it would be a good idea to support our local university and I have carried on being a friend ever since.

“It is brilliant to have Surrey here. I am very excited by its plans for the future, especially the new School of Veterinary Medicine as I have a big interest in livestock and animals generally. However, I am happy for my donations to go into the pot and be used as required. I am also always ready to spread the word about the good things going on at Surrey.”

This year, we launched the new University of Surrey Volunteering Programme, a formal way of recognising and celebrating the highly valued contribution our alumni and external volunteers make to the Surrey community, through their time, expertise and connections. It has got off to a wonderful start and we have seen many alumni and friends offer their experience and skills from around the world.

In 2013/14:» 244 volunteers supported University activities (ranging between 23 and 92 years old)» Volunteers gave over 650 hours of their time

The gift of time

Open Day alumni ambassador

We welcomed 22 graduates back to campus as Open Day alumni ambassadors, supporting academic staff on subject stands. They passed on their passion for Surrey and their experience of graduate employment to thousands of our prospective students and their parents, who said how invaluable these conversations had been.

Professor Susan Lanham-New, Head of the Department of Nutritional Sciences, said: “The Nutritional Sciences Department staff very much appreciated our alumni ambassador, Dawn, for giving up her time to help us at the Open Day. Prospective students and their parents were so interested to hear her experiences, both as a student and graduate, and she felt completely part of our team. Dawn was a fantastic help and I would really encourage other alumni to come and get involved in our Open Days.”

MBA Mentor Match

Surrey Business School has enhanced the impact of its flagship MBA programme through a new mentoring scheme called MBA Match. The programme pairs volunteer professionals - all of whom have significant experience in overcoming business challenges - with current MBA students.

Read about the value of the initiative in our case study overleaf.

To capture the heritage of Surrey’s predecessor institutions, Battersea Polytechnic and Battersea College of Advanced Technology, we launched the ‘Build our History’ project. Alumni preserve Battersea memories by providing oral histories, donating memorabilia and volunteering in the University archives.

» 30 alumni have donated personal artefacts to the Battersea archives to preserve for future generations

» 73 alumni have offered to support the Build our History project

Volunteering activities Graduates brief prospective students

This year, we held the first applicant and alumni receptions in Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore, which gave prospective students the opportunity to hear about life at Surrey from graduates who have experienced it first-hand. Our speakers and networking volunteers added enormous value to these events and we are now planning further events for 2015.

» 35 volunteers supported the first applicant and alumni receptions

» 66 students accepted their Surrey offer after attending the events

Careers event speaker

The Careers Service continued to deliver its comprehensive programme of workshops, events and practical advice sessions which were enhanced by volunteers who shared their own experiences of the world of work. Speakers and workshop participants helped current students understand the challenges they will face when applying for jobs, picked up tips to succeed and decided what the right career path might be for them.

Ashley Pye, Third-year Theatre Studies student said: “I have really benefited from volunteers speaking about their career journeys since graduating and giving their top tips for success. Learning from someone who has already experienced working in the area I’m interested in has added an extra dimension for me as I prepare for interviews and I am really thankful for the guidance.”

The real value of a mentoring programme is when both mentee and mentor find it rewarding. Rabi Wada and Sam Farrow were partnered through the MBA Match programme, through which volunteer business people support current MBA students, as they have similar experiences of being a working mum.

Despite coming from different countries and cultures, the pair have struck up a valuable friendship that has helped Rabi cope with the challenges of studying for an MBA and given Sam a fresh perspective on her own business.

As a mother of seven children, Rabi’s decision to study for an MBA was a difficult one, knowing that she would need to leave her family in Nigeria behind for weeks at a time. However, she was convinced it was the right move and would lead to a more successful future.

“I had been working for the same organisation for many years and more and more qualified people were being employed to work under me,” said Rabi. “Being a woman, I needed to prove that I had the experience and qualifications to do my job, so I decided to study for an MBA. I chose Surrey as my daughters, who studied in the UK, had heard good stories about it and encouraged me to come. They were right – I have enjoyed every minute of my stay.”

Sam, who is managing director of graphic design agency Farrow Creative, initially became involved with the University when she was invited to give a talk to MBA students on branding. When she was asked to become a mentor, she leapt at the idea.

She said: “I run my own business so I know how lonely the experience can be. I wanted to help others understand that it can be a hard slog and sometimes just putting one foot in front of another is enough.”

As a mother of two, Sam understood many of the pressures Rabi has experienced and feels the emotional support she has given to Rabi has been as important as the business advice: “Leaving her family behind was very hard for Rabi and I understand the guilt factor we often feel - it’s important to find the right balance between family and work. Rabi is an

Volunteer mentoring programme builds lasting relationships

While many of our volunteers visit the campus to help with University events or give a talk, our volunteering programme extends beyond the UK. International Surrey ambassadors greatly contribute to supporting our alumni community all over the world and share their experiences with prospective students. Graduates assist with hosting reunions and offering advice to potential students at recruitment fairs and events.

Benson Puah, who studied Hotel and Catering Management, is CEO of Singapore’s The Esplanade Co Ltd, one of the world’s busiest performance arts venues, and was knighted by the French government in 2010 for his contribution to the arts. He volunteered to meet alumni and prospective students and their parents at an evening at the Four Seasons Hotel in the city.

He said: “I graduated from Surrey with not only a degree, but also with a life-changing experience. My four years at university taught me about people, different cultures and set me up for a career in the hospitality and arts industries. Sharing my experiences not only helps the University but also students in my own country learn more about the exciting opportunities Surrey can offer them. Encouraging future talent is so important.

“Talking at events such as the Singapore reception is such a small amount of time to give but can have a big impact on prospective students and their parents.”

Professor Vince Emery, Pro Vice-Chancellor for International Relations, said: “Benson’s insightful comments about the values and skills he was exposed to and learnt were inspirational to both parents and prospective students alike. Every parent in the room wanted their child’s education to be as formative and rounded as Benson clearly believed his was. The value of our alumni in sharing their experiences cannot be over-estimated – it can play a big part in helping students in their decision to study at Surrey.”

tsamazing person. It takes guts and determination to make the choice to live in a different country away from your family. I have massive admiration for her.”

Rabi says Sam’s friendship has truly benefited her throughout her year’s study. “Sam is special in the sense that from the very beginning she was like a long-lost friend as we get on so well. She was ready to share her experiences as a working mother, and provide advice, particularly helpful as I come from another country. I have learned so much in one year and it has totally changed my perception about life and the business environment for the better.”

The experience has also been a rewarding one for Sam as it has opened up a new network of like-minded, talented people. “I think Surrey is so rich in opportunities – I see it as a micro-climate of good things!” she said. “I’ve learnt that education is so important and we should never stop learning. I studied for an MA while working and being a mum and it is possible to succeed, you just need to find the right balance in your life.”

Financial report 2013/14 | University of Surrey

28 surrey.ac.uk

The last year was a very successful one for the University – we rose in all the major league tables, and were ranked number six out of all UK institutions in the Guardian University Guide for teaching excellence, student satisfaction and employability rates.

And we scored an overall rating of 91 per cent in the annual National Student Survey, placing Surrey eighth in the country.

To be a successful university needs continuing investment and the philanthropic gifts we receive will play a vital role in our future growth. Charitable support makes a real difference in improving the student experience and in the creation and use of knowledge, as this report demonstrates so well.

In today’s climate, which has seen a dramatic reduction in state funding, these donations are critically important in funding bursaries, scholarships and other areas that enrich university life and further life-changing research. It’s a message that chimes with our alumni and friends – the number of donors has increased by 28 per cent on the preceding year and we are hugely grateful for this support. This helped contribute to the £1.9 million plus total we received for 2013/14 and the £3.25 million raised (including future year pledges), which is the largest sum raised in one year by the University and an increase of 59 per cent on 2012/13.

A message from our Chair of Council | University of Surrey

30 surrey.ac.uk

In the forthcoming pages, we formally acknowledge the hundreds of people who have supported the University in the last year. I would like to add my personal thanks, and those of my fellow members of the University Council, to each and every one - you have all played a part in ensuring that Surrey remains one of the UK’s leading universities.

Our reputation as a top 10 institution is firmly rooted in the quality of the student experience at Surrey and your generosity has significantly helped us create opportunities for students to flourish and reach their full potential.

Philanthropic gifts are a valued contribution to helping Surrey advance its research and have impact throughout the world. We are grateful for the donations that allow us to make a difference through the discovery of new cancer treatments, pioneering research to counter infectious diseases, and engineering breakthroughs that provide access to clean water in developing countries.

New building projects are underway that will provide students with facilities befitting a world-class university, which will also benefit the wider community. Through strong partnerships with leading research institutes and veterinary surgeries, we aim to create a centre of excellence in medicine and science at our new School of Veterinary Medicine. We are looking to develop long-term relationships with people and organisations who share our vision and whose support will shape the next generation of research and developments in animal health, welfare and global food security.

Thank you to our supporters

We have just celebrated a year of volunteering and the impact of the many alumni and friends who generously give their time is immense. Mentoring or coaching students, sharing industry knowledge or welcoming prospective students at Open Days play a huge part in making Surrey so successful.

I am proud to be connected to this University as Chairman of Council and it is heartening that so many share my pride. This year, more than 1,000 people have shown their support – a 28 per cent increase on the previous year – which is so important for our future growth. To show our appreciation, all donors become members of either the Oak or Acorn Circle, and receive a commemorative pin badge and are invited to a reception each year. I very much look forward to meeting many of you at our next event.

Finally, thank you once again for your tremendous support - your giving is already transforming lives, and will continue to do so well into the future.

Dr Jim Glover, Chair of Council

Listed on the following pages are the names of donors and volunteers who have supported the University of Surrey between 1 August 2013 and 31 July 2014.

We would like to thank the following Oak Circle members who have made donations of £1,000 or more to the University in the past year.

With your help the stresses which come with being away from home for the first time and studying a challenging degree have been greatly reduced.

Chloe Proctor, GAA Scholar

Thank you very much for the opportunity to acquire experience with a research project and develop skills for my future career in engineering.

Angelina Acaster, internship bursary recipient

I cannot describe how helpful receiving the financial support was. It has enabled me to pay off my debts and I am back on track with my dissertation.

Hardship Fund recipient

This experience has enabled me to become more aware of different learning styles, understand the way of life in the US and has increased my employability.

My University experience would be very different without your support. It has given me the freedom to not worry about my finances, focus on my studies and enjoy student life.

Raaj Kundi, Jason Prior Scholar

I probably would not have been able to finish my studies without the help I received. I had almost decided to give up due to my financial worries, despite having passed my modules with a comfortable first class.


I have the greatest respect and most sincere admiration for the donors’ humanism, as well as the fund’s ability to help Surrey students in delicate financial situations.


Receiving this award was a tremendous honour and a very proud moment. The award serves as a great motivation to continue to excel in my journey into my career in medical engineering.
