A brighter future –
thanks to you
Donor Report 2011
Be in no doubt, your donations are transforming the
University of Bath and the lives of all those who come into
contact with it!
For students, it may be the many scholarship recipients whose lives are
transformed by the additional financial support that enables them to take full
advantage of studying at Bath. Or it may be the thousands of students who
are benefiting from the new Student Centre, from the new library resources
funded by the Parents and Friends Library Enhancement Fund or as a result
of the many Alumni Fund grants to student clubs and societies.
For our academic staff, it’s the range of postgraduate scholarships and
research fellowships funded by philanthropic gifts that are attracting some of
the world’s brightest young researchers to join our leading research teams.
For local schoolchildren and future Olympians who benefit from sports
coaching and access to our truly world-class sporting facilities through
programmes and awards funded by donors, it’s their ambitions that are
being transformed.
I hope you enjoy reading the stories of this transformation in this Donor
Report – it would not be possible without your generous support.
Thank you.
Professor Glynis Breakwell, DL.
Vice-Chancellor
On behalf of the entire student body, and the Students’ Union,
I wish to thank each of you for your support this year.

Gifts from alumni and friends of the University impact on the
student experience in many different ways, none of which should be
underestimated. They fund activities ranging from sports clubs to
volunteering to student media, from which students gain opportunities for
development – and a great deal of enjoyment – that would not be possible
without your support.
I am not thanking you just on behalf of current students, as many projects
will benefit Bath students long into the future. For example this year
students have enjoyed using new facilities in a brand new Student Centre –
we are immensely grateful for the many alumni contributions which helped
put the finishing touches to this fantastic facility.
The shape of higher education is changing, but one thing is clear: whatever
form the future takes, the generous donations of alumni have and will
continue to benefit students here. Thank you once again for your generosity.

elcome to the University
of Bath’s Donor Report
for 2010-11.
I am delighted to be able to report
that during the last academic year,
and for the sixth year in a row, the
University’s donor community grew
to record levels with over 2,000
donors and record membership of
the Leadership Giving Circles.
Over £2.7million was raised, which
demonstrates an outstanding level
of generosity from all our donors.
This year has contained many
highlights for me. One of the most
memorable and moving was the
scholarship ceremony at Charter Day
when over 100 scholarship recipients
received their scholarship certificates
in front of a proud audience of their
families, friends and donors who had
helped to fund their awards.
In November this year, after five
years in post, I will be leaving Bath to
become Director of Development at
the University of Melbourne. It was
a very difficult decision to take, but
Bath will always remain ‘my’ university
and I would like to offer my sincerest
thanks to all those whose generosity
has helped to transform the University
and keep it one of the best in the
world.
Thank you.

The power of a scholarship
“Scholarships present opportunities for students who would have otherwise
never had an opportunity to study in a world class university. The philanthropy
of the donors to students they barely know creates a lifelong impact on them
both. My message to them is to continue giving towards this noble cause.
As a beneficiary, my life will never be the same again.”
Susan Mawemuko (MBA 2010), Steve Huckvale Postgraduate Scholar in Management
These words encapsulate the gratitude felt by scholars
across the University. Our alumni and friends support
scholars for many reasons: to commemorate the life of a
loved one, to recognise the opportunities the University
of Bath gave to them, or to support talented students
in a subject area that is close to their hearts. While their
motivations may vary, all our scholarship donors share a
common will: to help others realise their full academic and
life potential.
Susan Mawemuko (MBA 2010) overcame many challenges
to win a scholarship to the University of Bath. She had
a traditional African upbringing and her grandfather was
a village chief. Before starting her MBA, she worked at
Makerere University School of Public Health in Uganda,
pouring her energies into an HIV/AIDS programme. Since
graduating, she has returned to Uganda to share the skills
she has learnt.
Susan’s scholarship was funded by Dr Steve Huckvale (BSc
Engineering 1972, PhD 1979, Honorary DEng 2007) and his
wife Carol. In winning the prestigious global award of MBA
Student of the Year 2010 – the only finalist in the competition
to have studied at a UK business school – Susan displayed
a level of determination and leadership ability which more
than repaid the faith her donors placed in her.
We expect academic excellence from our scholars but
Susan’s success is just one of the many ways our scholars
show that they are worthy beneficiaries of your support.
Having just completed his first year at Bath, Alumni Fund
scholar Tim Quigg (Mechanical Engineering 2010-14) is
another student fulfilling his promise. While still at school in
Belfast, Tim won the Sentinus Young Innovators competition
for his A-level Design & Technology project, winning an
4
all expenses paid trip to take part in the International
Sustainable World Energy Engineering Environment
Project (I-SWEEEP) Olympiad in Houston, Texas.
Tim then went on to beat more
than 600 other students from
70 countries – winning a gold
award for his device FlashFlood: an innovative piece of
fire-fighting technology. He
also received a $1,000 prize
and a full scholarship to an
American university. Tim is the
only person in the UK to have
ever been awarded such
a high prize at I-SWEEEP.
Tim said: “Being awarded an Alumni Fund scholarship has
enabled me to explore areas of engineering outside my
course and develop my passion for the subject even further.
I have always had a keen interest in how things work, how
they are made and how they can be improved and I can’t
stress enough how much of a difference a scholarship
makes. The money has already been of benefit in subsidising
travel costs for meetings vital for securing a patent for my
latest idea and for books on my reading list. I am honoured
to be able to represent the University of Bath as a scholar.”
Not only do we seek to nurture bright young minds like
Tim’s, we must also attract the best postgraduates to Bath
who can turn their ideas into life-changing applications.
Work from a team of PhD researchers at Bath’s Centre
for Pain Research is already bearing fruit. Team member
Ellen Henderson, who completed her degree at the
National University of Ireland, Galway, received a PhD
Donor Report 2011
Donors
“I can’t stress enough
how much of a difference
a scholarship makes”
Studentship funded by the Annett Charitable Trust. Ellen’s studies bring together two
main streams of work in the Centre for Pain Research: understanding young people’s
chronic pain, and the development of novel treatments using computing technology.
Professor Christopher Eccleston, Director of the Centre for Pain Research, said: “We
are especially grateful for the generosity and vision shown by the Annett Charitable
Trust. Studentships such as this are vital to the success of our research as they allow
for innovative projects to be developed alongside our large programmes; they are a
vital investment in the pain research workforce of the future.”

Each autumn we mark the generosity of our donor community at
Charter Day. We were delighted to welcome over 100 donors and their
guests to the 2010 event where they were given the opportunity to
celebrate the arrival of the University’s new scholars and their parents.
Many scholarships are made possible by gifts to the Alumni Fund,
which each year sets aside a proportion of its income to this area.
An increasing number of named scholarships are donated by alumni
and friends of the University who support one or more students
throughout their degree. The group pictured above is the first cohort
of what will be 100 Roper Scholars.

Funding the answers
W
ho will find the solutions to generating clean energy?
Who will help people enjoy a better quality of life as they
live longer? Where will the next great breakthrough in
medical science come from, which could save millions of lives?
It’s likely that the answers to all these questions – and more –
will be found by researchers working in a university laboratory.
The University of Bath is leading the way in a number of areas that
could transform the world in which we live. Your gifts to support our
research, and researchers, are crucial to achieving these ambitions –
here are just a few examples.
Generating clean energy
Saving lives through science
Last year the University received its biggest ever gift
from an alumnus. Roger Whorrod (BSc Electrical
Engineering 1965, MSc Electrical Engineering 1970)
and his wife Sue donated £1 million to endow the
Whorrod Chair and fund two new Whorrod Fellowships
at the University’s Centre for Sustainable Chemical
Technologies. We’re delighted to report that their
extraordinary investment is already paying off.
Professor Raymond Schinazi (BSc Chemistry 1972, PhD
Chemistry 1976, Honorary DSc 2006) is one of our most
eminent alumni, whose discoveries in drug formulation
revolutionised the treatment of people with HIV/AIDS.
His generosity is now funding the next generation of
medical science researchers at the University of Bath.
Thanks to their gift the Centre was able to attract
outstanding young researcher Dr Aron Walsh to become
the first Whorrod Fellow. Aron uses computer simulations
to solve chemical problems and understand atomic
reactions, in order to design new classes of material
that offer immense potential for next-generation energy
such as solar cells and high-efficiency lighting.
Aron’s work has been so impressive in his first year that
he has been awarded a prestigious Starting Independent
Researcher Grant from the European Research Council.
These grants aim to support up-and-coming research
leaders working in pioneering frontier science. Aron
will use the €1million grant to expand his research
team and equipment, enabling the Centre to appoint a
further Whorrod Fellow to work alongside them at the
cutting edge of clean energy technology research.
The five-year Schinazi International Exchange Programme
supports faculty and postdoctoral exchanges between Bath
and Emory University in the United States to further research
and education in key areas of scientific excellence.
The Fellowship provides up to $30,000 per Fellow to enable
one or more full-time faculty members to undertake a threeto six-month visit, focused on a specific research project, at
the partner institution.

Attracting the finest minds
to Bath
Caring for our ageing
population
The Royal Society and the Wolfson
Foundation have pooled resources to
attract from abroad, or retain at home,
world-leading researchers. This year
they made a grant of £125,000 to
allow Bath to attract renowned applied
mathematician Professor Paul Milewski
to the Department of Mathematics.
After completing a PhD at MIT and time
spent at Stanford, he worked for several
years at the University of Wisconsin in
one of the United States’ leading maths
departments.
Raoul Hughes (BSc Business
Administration 1987) and his wife
Catherine have chosen to fund two
areas of research which address
issues around our ageing population.
A postgraduate research studentship
in the Department for Health will look
at how society can use technology to
enhance the lives of people suffering
from dementia and Alzheimer’s. A
research fellowship within the School of
Management’s Centre for Governance
and Regulation will focus on improving
UK pension reform. Raoul and Catherine
Hughes’ generosity was recognised by
the University this year when they were
welcomed into the Chancellor’s Roll of
Honour (see page 8).
Professor Milewski focuses on problems
involving fluids by using modelling,
computation and asymptotic methods
in wave dynamics. His research,
which can be applied to improving
the accuracy of satellite data, wind
forecasts and wave observation, means
he is able to link mathematical theory
with practical global challenges such as
tackling climate change.
Tackling evolution
and genetics
Dr Jonathan Milner (BSc Applied
Biology 1988) has donated
£100,000 through The
Evolution Education Trust
to fund a four-year
Teaching Evolution
and Genetics
research project
in the Department of Biology &
Biochemistry and the Department of
Education. The project will explore
the under-researched relationship
between the teaching of evolution
and genetics in UK schools and the
impact it has on perceptions of science.

Local philanthropists join
T
he Chancellor’s Roll of Honour is the highest award for
philanthropy that the University bestows. It recognises
exceptional support to the University and is awarded to
only a handful of our alumni and friends.
As the University’s Chancellor Lord Tugendhat said:
“The Chancellor’s Roll of Honour has been created in order to
honour, acknowledge and recognise the generosity of donors.”
This year Lord Tugendhat welcomed into the Chancellor’s
Roll of Honour two special couples who, between them,
have contributed more than half a million pounds to
scholarships, research, sport and the arts.
Raoul Hughes (BSc Business Administration 1987) and his
wife Catherine made a gift towards research into our ageing
population (see previous page to find out more about their
contribution to these valuable projects).
Well-known local philanthropists Brian and Margaret Roper
were recognised because of their sustained generosity
to the University over a number of years. Brian Roper is
Chairman of Roper Rhodes. In 2008 he was made an MBE
for his charitable services to the community and in 2009 the
University awarded him an honorary degree in recognition
of his business success. His son, Mark, is a graduate of the
University of Bath (BSc Economics & Politics 1988).
“The Chancellor’s Roll of
Honour has been created in
order to honour, acknowledge
and recognise the generosity
of donors.”
Thanks to their kind support I feel I will be able to work to
the best of my ability, without having to worry about some of
the costs associated with university.”
Gifts made by Brian and Margaret have made possible
wide-ranging projects – from the participation of thousands
of schoolchildren in the TeamBath School Club programme
to the University’s community arts initiatives. Last year, they
established the Brian & Margaret Roper Scholarship Fund
to help 100 students from low-income backgrounds study
at Bath who would not otherwise have had the chance to
do so. Thirty-two Roper scholars are already reaping the
benefits and have completed their first year.
Roper Scholar Harish Rama (Aerospace Engineering 201014) said: “I am honoured to be one of the recipients of the
Roper Scholarship. The funds from the award will be spent
on course-related equipment such as books and stationery.

Leadership giving
M
ost gifts to the University of Bath are from individuals,
whether alumni, parents, staff or friends, and we are
grateful for each and every one. However, for it to continue
to grow and thrive, the University also relies upon philanthropic
gifts from a range of organisations.
The following pages detail the contributions of just a few of our
outstanding supporters, from alumni and friends to charitable trusts
and businesses. Even from this snapshot we hope that it’s clear that
the University has diverse champions and that, collectively, every
donor is helping to make this institution even greater year on year.
Excellence breeds excellence, so to
stand out from the crowd it’s crucial
that the University continues to attract
and retain the very best students
and staff. One of the areas in which
Bath undoubtedly excels is sport.
The University’s Director of Sport,
Stephen Baddeley, said: “Sports
scholarships are an increasingly vital
part of our strategy to attract highly
talented sportsmen and women to the
University where they can realise their
sporting potential while attaining a top
quality degree.”
Bill Whiteley (BSc Economics &
Administration 1970, Honorary DEng
2009) has recognised this need
by giving a substantial gift to fund
scholarships for academically able
students, who also have outstanding
sports potential, to study at the
University of Bath. The Bill Whiteley
Sports Scholarship will be awarded
annually from 2012 to 2017 to an
undergraduate studying in the Faculty
of Engineering & Design, the School of
Management or the Department
of Economics.
Bill said: “It has been a great pleasure
to have seen the University establish
itself as one of the highest ranked
in the country with excellent links to
industry and the public sector. I have
also been impressed and delighted
by the development of its first class
sporting facilities and sporting
reputation.”
A contemporary of Bill’s, Bernard
Dokelman (BSc Economics &
Administration 1970) is a long-time
donor to the Alumni Fund (see page
18). Such is his level of commitment
that he has three times agreed to
match all new donations raised
through our telethon campaigns. This
year alone his generous offer of the
match has encouraged 50 per cent
more people to make their first gift –
a tremendous example of leadership
giving in action.
Mary Cutbill (née Eaton) (BSc
Business Administration 1988) is
another stalwart supporter of the
Alumni Fund, with many students
having benefited from her continued
generosity. Mary’s service on the
Annual Fund Panel has also ensured
that her gifts – along with those from
all other alumni and friends who
Bill Whiteley receiving an honorary degree from the University

more about the Annual Fund Panel on
page 21.
in the UK. The University will receive
scholarships from the Foundation for
PhD students to study in the Faculty
of Engineering & Design, worth £25,000
each year for three years.
Bath has always sought to produce
well-rounded and work-ready graduates,
with a spark of flair; increases in tuition
fees make this imperative. Dr Richard
Palmer (BSc Applied Biology 1973)
is helping Bath achieve this by giving
£12,500 to support the Student Start-up
and Proof of Concept award, a fund set
up to encourage a culture of enterprise
among the student community.
With over 30 years’ experience of
Research and Development and senior
management in the pharmaceutical and
biotech industries, Richard has also
pledged his time and expertise to this
initiative as a judge and mentor.
Dean of the Faculty of Engineering
Professor Gary Hawley said: “This is
fantastic news for the University. We
have a proud tradition of engineering
research and collaboration with global
businesses such as Dyson. This will
help create new opportunities for the
engineers of the future.”
At a time when the UK is seeking
a broader base for its economy,
universities are seen increasingly as
drivers of technological innovation
and growth. However this year worldfamous entrepreneur Sir James
Dyson (Honorary DEng 2000) said:
“Studying design and engineering is
costly. But it’s vital. We don’t produce
enough engineers to get the country
out of economic doldrums with new
technology. The challenge is ensuring the
best don’t drop out in favour of banking
careers.”
That’s why the James Dyson Foundation
has generously set up new James Dyson
Foundation Scholarships to encourage
more young people to study engineering

Donor Report 2011
While the University is grateful for
every gift it receives, some gifts have a
greater than usual impact. They create
opportunities for students and staff
across the University to pursue the
most innovative research and enterprise
initiatives, demonstrating leadership on
the part of the donor and a willingness
to invest in our aims and ambitions.
To recognise this level of impact we have
created the Leadership Giving Circles
(see left) to thank and celebrate those
who have donated £1,000 (Sulis) or £5,000
(Minerva) or more in the financial year.
T
hanks in part to our student
placement scheme, the University has
unrivalled corporate contacts, which
many companies have developed into a
philanthropic relationship. The business world
now supports the University’s endeavours by
contributing to scholarships, bursaries, prizes
and much more.
Santander Bank is a long-standing supporter
of universities worldwide through its
Santander Universities network, of which
Bath was one of the first UK members. This

Supporting special projects
T
he Vice-Chancellor’s Strategic Endowment Fund was
established last year to support special University projects
as the need arises. The income from the invested capital
gives the Vice-Chancellor the flexibility to pump-prime, bridge
fund, or champion initiatives of strategic importance.
Bath was not founded with the endowment of some of our
competitors, but this Fund, set to grow and to provide an
income in perpetuity, will allow us both to invest strategically
and respond flexibly in the challenging years ahead.
The Fund was set up thanks to a generous gift from a key figure in the building of the University of Bath.
Dr James Nisbet (Honorary DSc 1985) was born in
Glasgow in 1920, and following five years commissioned
service in the Royal Engineers, qualified as a Chartered
Quantity Surveyor in 1948. Following a career in a
succession of public service posts, in 1964 he established
James Nisbet and Partners in London and branch offices
soon followed, one of which was located in Bath.
At this time the embryonic University had been granted the
lease of land on Claverton Down and thus Nisbet became
involved with the construction of the first of the University’s
buildings, the South Building, in 1965.
For the next 20 years he served as Quantity Surveyor for all
the University’s major construction work. His reputation as a
contributor to professional journals and as a speaker brought
him worldwide recognition during his later life. In recognition
of his achievements, the University awarded him an honorary
Doctor of Science degree.
When Nisbet died in 2009, aged 89, he left to the University
one third of the residue of his estate – over £1.3 million –
along with his collection of books on architecture, building
and quantity surveying, and building industry reports,
which were given to the library.
Nisbet’s tremendous act
of generosity has helped
the University to plan for
a successful future; it is
fitting that his legacy will
ensure that this institution
– central to his career
for so many years – will
flourish in the years
to come.

Donor Report 2011
The Vice Chancellor’s Strategic Endowment Fund has supported a range of
projects to date, highlighted below. Most recently, it has provided a first for
the University: a full scholarship for an MSc student from Afghanistan –
we will bring you more details in next year’s Donor Report.
Attracting global talent
The Vice-Chancellor’s Strategic Endowment Fund
is promoting a successful exchange programme
for high-flying pharmacy students from China.
Last year four undergraduate research
scholarships were awarded to Shandong
University pharmacy students who spent six
weeks at Bath. The scheme was so successful
that the Vice-Chancellor’s Strategic Endowment
Fund has given £10,000 in order for it to continue.
The project benefits the University in a number of ways, reinforcing a connection
between two outstanding pharmacy departments, helping us to recruit future
postgraduate students, as well as enhancing the possibilities for exciting research
collaborations between the two universities.
Putting research in the picture
It’s crucial that we communicate the breakthroughs
made by our researchers to the widest possible
audience. The 2011 Images of Research exhibition,
funded with £2,500 from the Vice-Chancellor’s Strategic Endowment Fund, aims
to do just that. The project makes it easier for the general public to appreciate
the breadth of our researchers’ interests through a photography competition and
exhibition that captures their work in a single frame.
A photo by PhD student Jonathan Bawcombe
(MEng Architecture & Civil Engineering 2007) won
the overall competition. He said: “I think that many
people don’t realise the huge range of research that
is undertaken at the University and the important role
that the findings from it can have in society. Events
such as this are a great way for the University to
show off the work it does and are also good practice
for researchers in identifying the impact they have.”

A sporting legacy
Alumnus and Football Blue
Jeff Trendell (BSc Economics &
Administration 1970) died in 2009,
leaving £25,000 to the University
in his Will.
The Jeff Trendell Sports Scholarships,
set up in 2010 thanks to Jeff’s
legacy, enable us to attract students
who combine both bright academic
prospects and a sporting future of
tremendous promise.
The first group of scholars who started
at Bath in October 2010 are all
achieving great things, and recognise
the difference that their scholarship
is making to their performance. We
look forward to charting their progress
through University.
Netball player Scarlett Williams
(Coach Education & Sports
Development 2010-14) said in a letter
to Jeff’s family:
“Thank you so much for your generous
scholarship donation. The money has
been a huge help in helping me carry
out both my academic studies and my
intense sporting commitments. Behind
every successful athlete there are
people like you who support and help
people my age through their sporting
and academic careers. Without this
support many would not be able to
achieve the great things they do.”
We know that the Trendell family is
as proud of the achievements of our
scholars as the University is, which
The Jeff Trendell Scholars

is why they have generously agreed
to continue funding the scholarship
programme in the years to come.
We would like to thank them for their
commitment.

Equipped for success
Our library is at the heart of our campus, and it’s central to the lives of our students
as well. A hub of activity throughout the year, the building gets particularly busy
around exam time when a quiet seat becomes the most coveted on campus!
The library truly depends upon our donors – hundreds of alumni, parents of students,
and other supporters – who contribute towards the Parents and Friends Library
Enhancement Fund.
Giving students the right tools to support their study has an immeasurable impact on
their success. Your continued support – the Fund received nearly £15,000 in this year
alone – allows the University to extend the range of text books and reference works
available beyond the core curriculum, and also subscribe to online and electronic
academic resources to support the all-important ‘reading around the subject’.
Improving the quality of resources available in the University’s library is a long-term
goal and donations to the Fund offer long-term payback. That’s why many donors
choose to personalise their gift with a book plate to recognise this
lasting importance.
University Librarian Howard Nicholson said:
“Contrary to media reports, the printed book is
not dead and our students still borrow on average
more than one book a week each, many supported
by your generous donations. With the average
price of a printed academic book now around
£50, the purchases supported by this appeal are
increasingly vital in all subjects. Thank you.”

Enhancing the student experience
R
ecognising that the best experiences are often forged
beyond the library, lab or lecture hall, the Alumni Fund
helps students benefit from everything that a Bath
education has to offer. It provides much-needed equipment
for our flourishing sports clubs and student societies, and
increasingly supports out-of-hours academic pursuits too.
The goal is to give students the competitive edge they
need when entering employment as well as unforgettable
experiences along the way.
Each year the Alumni Fund supports more projects,
clubs and societies than we are able to list in this report
– here are just a few examples.
Bigger, brighter, better
Last year the Alumni Fund awarded its largest ever grant
of over £100,000 to the Students’ Union to help fit out the
Centre with audio-visual equipment and new furniture. This
grant was supplemented by generous individual donations
from alumni, which have made the building a fantastic space
for our students, now and into the future.
Climb every mountain
The University’s Mountaineering Club received a grant for
winter safety equipment and tents, enabling them to run an
introduction to winter mountaineering course in Lochaber,
Scotland, between semesters. As new members often don’t
own tents that can cope with harsh mountain conditions, the
tents have given opportunities for new members to walk on
the wild side!
There isn’t a student at Bath, past or present, who hasn’t
benefited in some way from the Students’ Union. It’s a
central resource for all clubs, societies and student activities,
providing both social space and welfare support for our
students.
The £5.5 million Student Centre, designed by Bath graduate
Andy Battle (BEng Architecture 2005, MArch 2007, PG Cert
2009) and opened in October 2010, is the hub for student
life on campus. With 50 per cent more space than before,
the Students’ Union is now much better placed to address
current students’ needs, with group study areas and a fully
integrated advice and services centre.
18
New member Caitlin Rice
(MSc Physics 2011) said:
“The use of the club’s
crampons and ice axes
allowed me to go on my
first winter trip, without
needing to spend a lot
of money. I enjoyed it
so much and learned
so much that I am now
considering investing in
my own winter gear.”

Collision course
Pole position
An Alumni Fund grant awarded to the
Motorsports Club helped propel the
team to their most successful year ever,
culminating in the ‘A’ team beating 30
other universities to the title of British
Universities Karting Champions.
The Alumni Fund gave a travel subsidy
to more than 40 members of the
Physics Society (PhySoc) to visit the
particle accelerator, or Large Hadron
Collider, at CERN (the European
Organisation for Nuclear Research)
in Geneva. Students were given the
chance to look around the site hosting
some of the world’s most advanced
technology. PhySoc Chair Stoyan
Trilov (Physics 2008-12) said: “The
society committee and members are
very grateful for the funding generously
provided by the Alumni Fund.”
Bowled over
Alumni Fund support helped the
Cricket Club purchase a new bowling
machine and coaching equipment. Club
members said: “These coaching aids
have hugely improved the quality of
training and had a positive impact on
results, with all teams placed near the
top of their respective
leagues. We would
like to thank alumni
wholeheartedly for
their support.”
The funds allowed the team to purchase
new race kit to the latest safety
standards. The new suits, helmets and
gloves are not only lighter, improving kart
acceleration and handling, but also more
comfortable, aiding concentrating and
therefore enhancing performance in long
endurance races.
Making an
impact
2010 was a year
when students hit the
headlines. Thanks
to new dictaphones
provided by an
Alumni Fund grant,
Bath student newspaper Impact was
able to put together professional
coverage of the London protests against
higher education cuts, along with daily
bulletins during Freshers’ Week. A
new InDesign software package, also
supported by the Alumni Fund, meant
that the team could produce a much
higher quality layout and design.

Enhancing the student experience
Out of this world
A University project supported by an Alumni Fund grant
won the chance to be sent into orbit as part of the UK’s first
CubeSat mission this year. The maiden flight programme
included a competition for companies and academic groups
to submit innovative ideas for devices to join the CubeSat
minituarised satellite, with the UK Space Agency selecting
the three most pioneering to join the launch. They were so
impressed with TOPCAT – a piece of equipment that can
measure weather conditions in the area of space just beyond
the earth’s atmosphere – that they awarded it a place on
the mission. TOPCAT measurements will reduce negative
implications for GPS and improve systems such as satellite
navigation and telecommunications.
Up, up and away
A first flight is now within reach for a human powered aircraft
designed on campus, thanks to an Alumni Fund grant. The
Bath University Man Powered Flight (BUMPF) project started
a year ago when two young engineers designed and partially
constructed a wing. This year four students constructed
the 20 metre long wings, and designed and built the
undercarriage, controls and a new seat.
“With the support of the
Alumni Fund, the team
is on the verge of its
first flight.”
Women in Engineering
An Alumni Fund grant paid for a group of students to attend
the Connect Women event in London in January, aimed
at attracting more women into careers in engineering,
traditionally a male dominated industry. The students were
able to forge links and network with female professional
engineers from a world leading engineering design company,
with one of the students recently securing a job with the
event’s sponsor Ove Arup & Partners.
Attendee Rebecca Drake (MEng Civil Engineering 2011)
said: “We felt the event gave us great insight into the
construction industry and in particular the wealth of
opportunities available to women engineers. We are hopeful
this opportunity will give us a head start in making successful
applications to graduate positions and are very grateful for
the contribution from the Alumni Fund which enabled us
to attend.”
The Flight team said: “With the support of the Alumni Fund,
the team is on the verge of its first flight. Money was needed
for vital material costs, logistics and research. It really did
make all the difference.”

Baby grand
The Institute of Contemporary Interdisciplinary Arts
(ICIA) provides an outlet for our students’ creative
talents. This year ICIA received an Alumni Fund
grant to purchase a baby grand piano. Due
to a shortage of adequate practice rooms on
campus, the piano is housed temporarily
in a newly-built theatre space within
the nearby American Museum
– a great venue to put on
performances and an
additional piano on which
students can practise
within an easy walk
of campus.
Decision makers
The Annual Fund Panel is made up of alumni donors, University staff and
student representatives. Every year they assess applications from students,
academic departments and other groups for grants from the Alumni Fund.
The Panel is there to ensure that your gifts are spent on deserving projects
which do most to enhance the student experience and encourage enterprise,
innovation and excellence on campus.
The grants made by the Annual Fund Panel complement, but do not replace,
statutory funding, and are designed to help as many current and future
students as possible.

Going places
O
n top of a first-rate education, practical work experience is an
essential requirement in today’s increasingly competitive job
market; this is what sets Bath’s graduates apart from the rest. Over
three in five Bath students take the opportunity to put their knowledge
into practice by pursuing a work placement as part of their course.
Most placements undertaken are paid positions in a UK office or laboratory
yet, for those who venture further afield, or whose positions are unpaid,
help is at hand. Last year Alumni Fund placement grants, of up to
£1,000 each, helped students fulfil their ambitions across the world.
Home...
… and Away
Daniel Brown (Biology & Biochemistry
2009-12) stayed close to home for
his placement, taking a position in the
Department of Sports Development
and Recreation at the University of
Bath. He worked closely with Great
Britain Modern Pentathlon and
Paralympics Great Britain and carried
out a series of tests to observe athletes’
visual perception and visual discipline
using an eye-tracker. Daniel hopes that
this innovative research could assist
the Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls’
performance in 2012.
Sam Berry (Coach Education & Sports
Development 2008-12) received an
Alumni Fund grant to undertake a
six-month placement with SCORE
International, a non-profit organisation
based in Cape Town, South Africa.
SCORE specialises in community
development through sport and
recreation. Sam helped create sports
skills programming resources for use
by SCORE facilitators and community
sports volunteers and then put the
resources into practice in workshops
with coaches from local communities.
Daniel said: “The experiences that I
have had this year have surpassed my
expectations and have left me in an
extremely fortunate position. I have had
the opportunity to work with previous
Olympic champions and, hopefully,
champions of the future.”

“I have had the
opportunity to
work with Olympic
champions”
Sam said: “As my placement was a
voluntary one, the assistance received
from the Alumni Fund was greatly
appreciated; without it I would have been
unable to complete the placement.
I would therefore like to thank the Alumni
Fund for this great opportunity.”
Looking east
Daniel Feld (MEng Mechanical
Engineering 2011) and Monica Cheng
(BSc Accounting & Finance 2011)
received grants to take part in the
Study India Programme, designed to
rapidly expand participants’ knowledge
of culture and society in the country.
Monica’s visit included teaching English
and Maths as a volunteer for Mumbai
Mobile Crèche and a visit to the Mumbai
Stock Exchange, the oldest in South
Asia. She said: “As an Accounting &
Finance student, I could hardly contain
my excitement for the opportunity to
observe an open outcry trading floor”.
Nic Watkins (BSc Politics with
International Relations 2011) spent a year
in Pakistan working for the International
Foundation for Electoral Systems, thanks
to a placement grant.
Psychological insights
Michelle Tsang (BSc Psychology 2011)
worked as a research assistant at the
Harvard Graduate School of Education.
She was inspired by her environment
and the people she had the chance
to meet, including Arne Duncan, the
American Secretary of Education (who
plays basketball with President Obama
at weekends!), and Eric Carle, author
of the seminal children’s book The Very
Hungry Caterpillar.
Michelle said: “I have been exposed
to a wealth of opportunities, and I
am very grateful to those who have
supported me and given me a chance to
experience them. Thank you.”
Monica at the crèche
Alumni Fund placement grants were only
made possible thanks to the generosity
of our donors – we look forward to
continuing to bring you more reports of
these once-in-a-lifetime placements in
the future.
Nic said: “Living in Pakistan opened my
eyes to a completely new culture and
way of life.This would not have been
possible if it were not for the support
of the donors to the Alumni Fund.”

Team work
M
any of you will have received a call from
a University of Bath student this year, as
part of our regular telethon campaigns to
fundraise for the many Alumni Fund projects which
enhance the student experience. We hope that those
of you who had the chance to talk to one of our
callers this year enjoyed it as much as they did.
Our student callers manage to speak to around one in 10
alumni every year, in the spring and autumn. This year, in
addition to alumni based in the UK, USA and Canada, for
the first time we reached many alumni living in continental
Europe.
The Annual Fund team receives over 200 applications
each year from students who wish to work in the telethon
team. The final group of 60 callers are some of the brightest
and most enthusiastic young people you could hope to
meet. Every member of the team is an ambassador for the
University, dedicated to their work with the Alumni Fund
and whose experiences at Bath have been touched by the
effects of your generous support.
The telethon brings together students from across the
University, from freshers to PhD students. Many callers
return to the team year after year.

Celine Roet (Biochemistry 2010-14)
“I would like to thank alumni for their
advice and the enlightening conversations
that have motivated me to work harder
and to stay focused. It is an absolute
pleasure to be a part of the alumni family.”
Charles Oldroyd (BSc
Business Administration 2010),
studying for PhD in Management.
“Being a caller has not only offered
me the possibility of interacting
with alumni all across the world
and discovering the wealth of
opportunities that lie beyond university, it has also
been a chance for me to grow in confidence and
learn more about myself.”
Donor Report 2011
“Working on the telethon is so much more
than a job. It has helped me reach my full
potential and I’ve developed new skills as
a result. I love being part of a team which
believes passionately in the cause”
