Fantastic
response to
Bob Boucher
appeal
We are delighted to report that – thanks to hundreds
of generous donations from alumni, staff, and friends
– more than £85,000 has been raised to date for the
Bob Boucher Scholarships Fund, in memory of our
former Vice-Chancellor.
Rosemary Boucher, Bob’s widow,
commented, “Through the pages of this
magazine I would like to thank all those
who have contributed to this scholarship
fund in memory of Bob. It means a great
deal to my children and me that he was
remembered by so many people. We hope
that the scholarships will help the next
generation of Sheffield students to get the
most out of a university which Bob loved.”
Professor Bob Boucher’s association with Sheffield
spanned nearly 40 years. During his time as ViceChancellor, he was instrumental in some of the
University’s biggest successes. He spearheaded a
range of innovative schemes designed to boost the
regional economy, such as the Sheffield Bioincubator,
the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with
Boeing and the Rolls-Royce Factory of the Future. And
the University’s estate was transformed under his
leadership, including the stunning £23 million library
and IT centre, the Information Commons, and the
£160 million student residences at Endcliffe and
Ranmoor.
In 2002 Bob founded the Development and Alumni
Relations Office, which has since reconnected with
125,000 alumni worldwide and helped the University
to raise over £20 million in cash and pledges from
alumni, current and former staff, parents, friends,
trusts and corporations. Bob was the driving force
behind the University’s successful alumni funded
scholarship programme, and was passionate about
giving young people the chance to improve their lives
through education.

Professor Bob Boucher CBE, FREng.
The donations you have
made to the Bob Boucher
Scholarships Fund will
provide much deserved
financial help to talented
students who would
otherwise find it
difficult to afford the
costs of a University
education, especially
those from the local
region. We have been able
to award 26 scholarships,
benefitting students in
all five faculties.
Message
of thanks
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the
2010 issue of Donor News. I am once again delighted by the
generosity of our alumni, staff and friends in supporting our
current students. We have now reached a landmark £1 million
donated to the Annual Fund specifically for student support
including scholarships.
All British universities are facing tough times ahead and the
situation is no different for Sheffield. During these challenges,
the support of our alumni, staff and friends is of great
significance. We continue to pride ourselves on the reputation
of the University of Sheffield and this is a feeling that I know
remains strong amongst our community.
I have been fortunate to meet many of you over the past year
at events all over the world and have been encouraged by
your clear affection and support for the University. The Silver
Arrows lapel badge is given to supporters who have taken out
a regular gift by standing order, made a one-off donation of
£1,000 or more, or are planning to leave a legacy in their Will.
I have noticed with great pleasure the number of people
wearing this badge at alumni events and by staff around the
University campus. I wear my badge with pride, knowing that
I am in the company of all of those others who are supporting
the University’s scholarship programme. By wearing this
badge all of us can raise the profile of what alumni giving
means – and encourage others to think about donating.
Once again, I would like to thank you for your continued
support of the University of Sheffield.
Professor Keith Burnett CBE, FRS
Vice-Chancellor

Supporting your
University
Miles Stevenson, Director of Development, reflects on the
positive effects donations have on every aspect of life at
the University of Sheffield.
I am constantly amazed by what can be achieved
through the generosity of our supporters. The
donations for the new Sheffield Institute for
Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) (see page 6)
make up one of the biggest pledges the University
has received in modern times. It reminds me of the
1904 foundation campaign when the penny
donations from the people of Sheffield united with
major benefactions to create a university for the
city. This spirit of generosity has been repeated
now, over 100 years later, through the Sheffield
Institute Foundation for Motor Neurone Disease.
At the SITraN building commencement ceremony,
I met many of their supporters and I was
particularly impressed by the efforts of one young
boy who has raised several thousand pounds for
the project via sponsored challenges. Everyone can
play a part in fundraising for a project they believe
in, and it is the support of so many people that
makes a dramatic difference.
We have just celebrated 8,000 individual
donations since the Development and Alumni
Relations Office opened in 2002, and this
generosity is in evidence across the campus
through the financial support we can now offer
departments, staff and students. I have recently been sent 52 applications for
departmental projects and many of these will receive funding from donations of the last
12 months.

university from the people of Sheffield.
At a presentation I made to the Council of the University on legacy donations I was able to
report that, over the last ten years, we have received £3.4 million in generous legacies.
Many of these have been for a much loved department or to support medical research at
the University – which benefits all of us. As was reported in last year’s Donor News,
alumnus and former member of staff the late John Hawley (BEng 1973) made provision for
a gift for student sport at the University through the Alumni Foundation. Our office is
working closely with U Sport, the department that manages all aspects of sport, health
and fitness at the University, on the development of a new sports pitch which should be
completed in 2011 thanks to this generous donation from his wife Pauline.
Over 400 people have now confirmed that they are remembering the University in their
Will. This generosity speaks volumes for people’s affection for our University. All of the
support that we receive is voluntary and – as you will see from the
pages of this magazine – it is funding a huge range of activities
across the University. Philanthropy is a great force for good and
I thank all of our supporters for their donations.

This year our fundraising efforts were helped by the
Development Office’s move to larger premises, which
include a fantastic call room for our team of dedicated,
enthusiastic student callers. They are looking forward
to talking to you again soon!
Alumni
Fund is
one in a
million!
We’re delighted to report that the
Alumni Fund has now raised over
£1 million in donations from many
individuals since it started in 2003.
A huge thank you to everyone who
donates to the Alumni Fund each year,
providing crucial direct support to our
students through scholarships,
facilities, equipment and Alumni
Foundation grants.
You have also helped our Alumni Fund
to an impressive ranking in the annual
Ross-CASE Survey (the leading
national benchmarking survey for all
UK universities’ development and
alumni relations activities). We are
currently in the top 18 Alumni Funds in
the UK (out of a total of 66 universities
who have been fundraising for at least
four years). This is a terrific
achievement – we are raising funds
comparable to other Russell Group
universities whose alumni and
fundraising programmes have been
established far longer than ours.
Thank you so much for showing that
Sheffield graduates really are some of
the most generous in the UK.

Martin and Julie Fry with the Vice-Chancellor.
The front man of the legendary Sheffield-based band ABC has helped
our annual reunion fundraising campaign reach new heights.
Martin Fry (BA 1979) and his wife Julie made a very generous donation, which helped their
class reunion campaign to achieve a record total of over £60,000. Theirs was also the
7,000th individual donation received by the University since 2002, donations which total
over £20 million in gifts and confirmed pledges.
Martin was the guest speaker at our Annual Alumni Reunion, which was attended by over
100 graduates from 1969, 1979 and 1984. A highlight of the event was dancing the night
away in the Students’ Union bar (which of course included plenty of ABC hits on the
playlist!). Our special thanks go to Martin, Julie and all members of the anniversary classes
who made donations to the campaign. These gifts will be directed to projects including
our Alumni Fund Scholarship programme, which provides scholarships of £3,000 each for
gifted students who are in need of financial help.
“We see the positive effect of these gifts everywhere, from additional IT provision to
funding for world-leading research – and most importantly the transforming effect they
have on individual lives,” said Vice-Chancellor Professor Keith Burnett. “I’d like to say a
very heartfelt thank you to all our supporters, and hope that you are very proud of all the
success you are helping to achieve for Sheffield.”

Huge
philanthropic
gift supports
essential MND
research
An artist’s impression of the SITraN building.
A new state-of-the-art £12 million research institute, SITraN (the
Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience), is being built on a
site on Dorset Street, near the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The
project has been generously funded by a £9 million donation from the
Sheffield Institute Foundation for Motor Neurone Disease (SIFMND),
which was formed by a concerned group of patrons who wanted to
support the development of the institute.
SITraN brings together scientists and medical specialists who are dedicated to finding
the causes and cure for motor neurone disease (MND), as well as other degenerative
conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s disease and spinal muscular
atrophy. Over 5,000 people in the UK suffer from MND. It is an incurable disease which
destroys the cells that control movement causing progressive disability. Sufferers may
lose their ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe. At present, treatment options for the
protection of motor neurones have only a modest effect and more effective therapies
are urgently needed.
International expert in MND and head of the new institute Professor Pamela Shaw said,
“The patrons of SIFMND are inspirational and their support and generosity have
spurred me on to build a dedicated research institute which will bring together the
best clinicians and scientists under one roof. This is a wonderful and exciting step
forward for patients with MND and other disorders of the motor system, and I and the
teams I work with are delighted to be part of it.”
Irene Beard, a patron of SIFMND, added, “There was a need for more scientific
research to be done to find the causes and develop treatments for MND and we
believe that this new institute will achieve this and bring huge benefits to patients
across the world. It is fantastic to be part of this project and help raise much needed
funds for such a great cause.”
Miles Stevenson, Director of Development, commented, “This is the largest
philanthropic gift to the University from private benefaction since the Edwardian
period. We are most grateful to all the donors to SIFMND, both large and small, who
have made this possible.”
Building work in progress.

Thank you
“We have been very fortunate to have a group
of patrons and supporters dedicated to
raising funds,” said Stephen Sly (LLB 1984),
Chair of the Trustees of SIFMND. “Their
enthusiasm and passion to help Professor
Shaw have been outstanding. Among our
‘champions’ have been Jonathan Stone, whose
father Hyman Stone was President of
Sheffield’s Students’ Union in 1923; Stuart
Keane, whose son Shaun suffered from MND
and recently passed away; Irene Beard whose
energy and powers of persuasion have been
invaluable; and our Honorary Patron the
Duke of Devonshire.
“One of the most adventurous fundraising
challenges this year is the Bounty Boat
Expedition in which four crew members will
follow the voyage of William Bligh when cast
adrift from HMS Bounty. They will attempt to
travel 4,000 miles across the Pacific in an open
boat – with not enough food, no charts and no
toilet paper! A host of other fundraising events
have also been taking place including a Pedal
the Ports cycling event and a trek to the South
Pole. I would like to extend my thanks and
gratitude to all those who have been involved
in fundraising for SITraN.
“We are continuing to raise money to fund
further equipment and key staff posts. If you
wish to donate to the Bounty Boat Expedition

The Alumni
Foundation
Funding student initiatives across the campus
Since 2002, the Alumni Foundation has awarded over 190 grants to the value of over
£200,000 in support of a wide range of University projects. The Foundation manages
funds from donations made to the Alumni Fund by alumni and friends of the University.
Students and staff are encouraged to submit applications for funding of up to £2,000
for a specific project and the Foundation Committee meets three times a year to
allocate the funds. The grants are made to projects that add life to the University and
applicants are encouraged to raise additional funds through their own fundraising.

Students’ Union President Paul Tobin acknowledges the positive effects of support
from the Alumni Foundation: “As President it is a great privilege to help allocate
alumni gifts to student projects. On behalf of all the student clubs and societies who
have benefited I would like to say thank you to our donors. Attending Alumni
Foundation meetings is one of the highlights of my year.”
Sheffield Nightline is an invaluable
welfare service, similar to
Samaritans, available to the entire
student population between the
hours of 8.00pm and 8.00am. The
student volunteers, of which there
are between 60 and 90 a year,
provide an information service
and a listening service, via email
and telephone. Their purpose is to
be non-directive, non-judgmental,
empathetic and confidential.

Sheffield Dancesport Society
With Strictly Come Dancing a regular fixture in the television schedules, the medalwinning Sheffield Dancesport Society is very popular with students from both universities
in the city. They represent the University at eight competitions a year around the country
and host the annual Sheffield Social dance competition in the Octagon Centre.
Helen Roots, the Society’s Treasurer, approached the Alumni Foundation for funds to buy
a set of new competition dresses and accessories. She said, “We were most grateful to
receive a £1,000 grant. Presentation is essential as not only do clothes, hair and make-up
make all the difference to being noticed by a judge, but they also give the dancer
confidence. It was with great excitement that we were able to buy new outfits in which we
feel proud to represent the University of Sheffield and Sheffield as a city. With the grant
money we now have new outfits for the whole A team, and some extra for the B team too.
We will hopefully dance our way to even more medals this year!”

The Nightline Committee applied
to the Alumni Foundation for a
grant for computing and working
facilities: “Nightline is extremely
grateful to the Alumni Foundation
for their very generous grant of
£1,400 this year. We have
benefited greatly from this money
and it has helped us in many ways.
We were able to buy a wonderful
laptop, printer and phones that
are used by everyone in the
organisation. Additionally, we have
purchased Bluetooth software
that enables us to advertise
Nightline and its service to
students at the University
Freshers Fair and other
promotional events. We feel that,
without this money, Nightline’s
committee would not have been
able to achieve many of their aims
for the organisation this year.”

Sheffield Universities’
Guild of Change Ringers
A programme of events to celebrate their golden
anniversary reunited past and present members of the
Guild in Sheffield. Founded in October 1958 by a group
of students as an affiliated society of the Students’
Union, the Guild has always welcomed members from
all higher education institutions in the city, and their
current title was adopted in 1992.
The main focus of the anniversary celebrations was a
weekend in February 2009, which was attended by
over 100 alumni – many of whom hadn’t returned to
Sheffield in over 30 years. They took part in ringing at
the society’s home, at the Cathedral Church of St Marie
in the city centre, and a striking competition. The Guild
received a £410 grant from the Alumni Foundation
which funded various aspects of the programme.
Claire Monk, the Guild’s Vice Master, said, “The annual
dinner ended with a fantastic ceilidh where members
from all eras joined together. The celebrations were
rounded off by a tour of the University and the new
Student Villages. Without the Alumni Foundation’s
support the events wouldn’t have provided the same
opportunities for our members. Thank you.”
The Sheffield Sabres en masse.
The Sheffield Sabres
The Sheffield Sabres (the American football team) were named the
University’s Sports Club of the Year in 2009, following a winning season
in which they topped their division table. A successful application for
£840 to the Alumni Foundation resulted in the purchase of six
desperately needed sets of kit (helmet and pads).
“The grant increased our ability to coach and train more players,” said
Elliott Josypenko, Vice President. “It was our off-field commitments that
earned us the Sports Club of the Year award. Over the course of 200809 the Sabres raised over £2,300 for Sheffield and Leeds’ hospitals. We
also coached a weekly training session at Newfield Comprehensive
School; and gave the Angleton Community Centre in the Manor a
complete DIY makeover. We realise that our successes this year would
not have been possible without the support of the Alumni Foundation.
We would like to thank our donors for this opportunity to take the club
to the next level.”

Dear Lee…
“I cried when I found out that
I had received the award. I had
only applied to postgraduate
study on the basis that I could
secure funding. The scholarship
was an amazing opportunity for
me, as someone from a working
class family background and the
first generation to go to
university. I am extremely
grateful, as it is the perfect
springboard to carry on
learning and achieving to the
highest possible standard!”
Chantelle Turner,

Lee launched the Jack Reacher Scholarships at the Fat Cat pub in Kelham Island, Sheffield, which is owned by alumnus Dave Wickett (MA 1976)
(seen here on the right). The convivial evening was helped along by sampling the new Jack Reacher Ale, specially brewed by Kelham Island Brewery
in Lee’s honour. Lee and Dave were joined by (far left) Miles Stevenson, Director of Development, and Professor Dominic Shellard.
Literary hero inspires
new scholarships
“I would like to say a huge thank
you for my scholarship. After
recovering from Hodgkin’s
lymphoma while studying for a
History degree at Sheffield
(graduating in 2006) I was
determined to turn the worst thing
that had ever happened to me into
the best thing that has ever
happened. There was only one
place that I wanted to study
medicine and now, in part thanks
to this gift, I am back in Sheffield
and thoroughly enjoying the first
year of the MB ChB programme.”
Tom Grew,
MB ChB Medicine
Graduates Lee Child (LLB 1977, Hon LittD 2009) – best selling crime writer and Visiting
Professor at the University of Sheffield – and his wife Jane (BA 1975) have helped
52 students to create their own success stories. Thanks to their extremely generous
donation, 25 undergraduate and 27 postgraduate Jack Reacher Scholarships have been
awarded, worth £2,000 each – named after Lee’s main character in his series of bestselling novels.
The scholarships were awarded to talented students from each of the University’s five
faculties to provide them with financial assistance during their studies. Many of the
scholars were the first person in their family to attend university and have faced
particularly difficult circumstances in order to earn their place at Sheffield.
“I was very happy to help out – my generation went to university for free, and I believe in
paying things forward,” said Lee. “It's upsetting to see bright and dedicated students
contemplate giving up their studies because of financial pressures. Just like my literary
character Jack Reacher, if I see things that are wrong, I want to put them right.”
Lee was also presented with the University’s Silver Arrows donor lapel pin by Professor
Dominic Shellard, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for External Affairs, who commented, “This is an
incredibly generous donation from Lee and Jane, and we are extremely grateful for their
support and commitment to the University. It is fantastic to see two of our alumni giving
something back to help current students.”
The Jack Reacher Scholarships are the latest addition to the University’s excellent
scholarship programme, funded by individual donations from alumni, current and
former members of staff, parents and friends. Since 2003, more than 350
students have now received scholarships funded entirely by donations, many of
whom have now graduated thanks to this support.

Funding promotes work
experience
Undergraduate students at the University of Sheffield now have the
opportunity to undertake a work placement as part of their degree.
Launched in 2007, a degree with Employment Experience offers them
the chance to spend one year working with an organisation to develop
their transferable skills, put academic theory into practice and increase
their employability after graduation. This year the Alumni Fund has
provided two Politics students each with a grant of £1,000 to enable
them to undertake internships with two local MPs.
New plaque scheme:
celebrating our
benefactors
Ben Dunckley is spending his internship year in the Westminster office
of Clive Betts, MP for Sheffield Attercliffe. He said, “I have had the
opportunity to experience political life first hand. I believe that this
placement will give me an edge over other candidates for future
employment. It has also given me a whole new skill set to deal with
office environments, high pressure situations and time management.
These are skills that cannot be learnt in a university environment. As
such it has very much rounded out my higher education experience.”
James Chadwick is working in the constituency office of Angela Smith,
MP for Sheffield Hillsborough. “I wanted to do the internship because I
want to stand out from other applicants,” he said. “The internship has
motivated me to clarify what I want to do when I graduate – I’d like to
join the civil service or local government. The grant has helped a lot. It
would have been a struggle to fund myself otherwise. I’d like to thank
the donors who have made this possible.”
The University of Sheffield has an inspiring and proud
tradition of support from an array of philanthropists.
While many of the buildings across the campus are
named after these generous individuals, their story
and connection to the University remains little known
to most of today’s staff, students and visitors. Now, a
series of plaques details the biographies of our
benefactors past and present, and provides some
context of what their gifts have meant to the
University. Those commemorated include:
Outside Firth Hall, Firth Court, Western Bank
Mark Firth (one of the principal founders of what
would become the University)
The entrance to the Rotunda (see above)
William Edgar Allen (gave money for the first library,
now the Rotunda in Firth Court)
Main stairs, Mappin Building
Sir Frederick Mappin (helped to found the Technical
College, which later became the Faculty of
Engineering)
The Houses of Parliament.

Three of the many colourful images from Humbug!, the first display in the new exhibition space.
New Exhibition Gallery on show
The Western Bank Library has emerged from a £3.4 million facelift and one of the most visible
developments is the Exhibition Gallery. A generous grant of £184,000 from the Wolfson Foundation
has been combined with a legacy of £100,000 from alumna Miss Margaret Lewis (BSc 1923), and
other Alumni Fund gifts from many donors and friends of the University, to restore the original
exhibition space and provide state-of-the-art lighting and display technology.
Miles Stevenson, Director of Development, said, “The stunning redevelopment of the Western
Bank Library Exhibition Gallery has been made possible thanks to donations from alumni, friends
and organisations. We are planning to arrange events in conjunction with the exhibition
programme over the coming months and look forward to welcoming many of our alumni and
supporters to this wonderful new venue.”
Medical School
Library
The late Dr David Ryan (MB ChB
1970) very kindly left a legacy for
the Medical School Library to help
current medical students. The
Medical School Library is part of
the Health Sciences Library which
serves the staff and students of
the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry
and Health as well as NHS staff in
Sheffield. Dr Ryan’s bequest has
funded a flexible study space so
that students can create a
working environment that is
relevant to their needs.
The Exhibition Gallery, which is open to the public, will display items from the library’s Special
Collections and from the National Fairground Archive, as well as host visiting exhibitions from time
to time. The first exhibition, Humbug!, celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of impresario
PT Barnum – the self-proclaimed ‘world’s greatest showman’ – and runs until 27 May 2010. This
colourful display will be followed by an exhibition from the British Library.
Humbug! has been curated by Professor Vanessa Toulmin, Director of the National Fairground
Archive. She commented, “This new space is a fantastic asset for the University. I can’t wait to see
staff, students and visitors enjoying Humbug! and many more exhibitions here in the future.”
Martin Lewis, Director of Library Services and University Librarian, added, “It’s been wonderful to
see the Western Bank Library emerging from this refurbishment able to provide a better
environment for our students and researchers, and yet closer to the architectural vision it
embodied when it opened in 1959. Along with the Information Commons, we now have library
facilities appropriate to one of the world’s top 100 universities.”

We reported on the generous
gift left by Ray Charlesworth
MBE to the Department of
Chemistry in the last issue of
Donor News. The gift of
£180,000 has resulted in a
permanently endowed
scholarship fund to help gifted
Chemistry students who might
otherwise struggle with the
costs of University. Now, in
recognition of Ray’s devotion
and generosity, the department
has named a newly refurbished
pair of its rooms the
Charlesworth Suite in his
honour. The refurbishment was
made possible by £10,000 of
donations from alumni, current
and former staff and friends to
the University’s Alumni Fund.
Bone storage facility
The new Juvenile Developmental Osteology
Reference Collection, based in the Department of
Archaeology, provides museum standard storage
space for juvenile skeletons of all developmental
ages, from the late foetal stage to approximately 12
years old. The new storage facility has been made
possible by a £25,000 grant from the Alumni Fund
Telephone Campaign.
Around 600 skeletons and associated research
materials are on display in the collection space, all
of which are used for graduate research and
training as well as staff and visiting academics’
research. These remains are considered vital by
the department as they provide a record of how
the skeleton grew and matured in past
populations. The new facility will ensure such
delicate materials are curated securely and can be
retrieved rapidly with minimal physical
disturbance.
Professor Andrew Chamberlain said, “The storage
facility will form an integral part of our planned
Centre for Human Bioarchaeology. It will make it
much easier for researchers to study the juvenile
skeletons which provide an important resource for

the moot court.
New moot court
Law students at the University can now
swap the lecture theatre for the courtroom
following the official opening of a £15,000
moot court. Based in the School of Law the
new facility allows students to hold
simulated court proceedings and argue
hypothetical cases to enhance their studies.
The court was opened by alumna Frances
Murphy (LLB 1979), Head of Corporate
Practice at law firm Slaughter and May,
which funded the development.
Professor Mike Ward, Head of
the Department of Chemistry,
said, “Ray would have been
thrilled to know that his money
is helping chemists of the future
to further develop their skills.
The naming of the Chemistry
common room is a fitting tribute
to a man who was much
admired and loved by all in the
department.”
Professor Joanna Shapland, Head of the
School of Law, said, “This excellent facility
will give our students a proper forum in
which to compete in moots and hone their
legal skills. Our students have been very
successful in the past at mooting – thanks
to the generosity of Slaughter and May we
look forward to further successes and
being able to host mooting competitions in
proper surroundings.”

Success at Chelsea
The Future Nature garden at the Chelsea Flower
Show 2009.
The University’s Department of Landscape,
together with Ark Design and Management
Ltd, exhibited an award-winning, innovative
show garden at the Chelsea Flower Show
2009. The Future Nature garden was based
on principles of sustainability, making the
most of recycled materials and stored
rainwater to create a colourful, wildlifefriendly display. The project, which gained a
Silver-Gilt Flora medal, received generous
sponsorship from the Alumni Fund and
Yorkshire Water.
Dr Nigel Dunnett, Reader in the Department
of Landscape, said, “The Future Nature
garden presents our vision of gardens,
buildings and urban spaces, filled and
covered with exuberant planting for the
benefit of people, wildlife and the wider
environment. The ideas in this garden can
be used anywhere and by anyone. Artistic
use of found and re-used materials, a sense
of thrift and restraint, conservation and the
management of every drop of rainwater are
key principles of the design. Future Nature is
a new nature – beautiful and intimate, but
also an essential part of how we could live in
the future.”
The
University
of Sheffield
in America
The ‘University of
Sheffield in America’
is our sister
organisation in the
United States.
It helps American alumni keep
in touch with their University
and each other, and enables
US tax payers to make tax
deductible donations to the
Alumni Fund.
“I’ve been running ‘University of
Sheffield in America’ from US
soil for over a year now, and I’d
like to say a huge thank you for all
your support and good wishes
since the move. I’ve had a chance
to meet lots of US alumni on my
travels, and I am really enjoying
being one of you!”

Study Abroad students
We have awarded another ten
US Study Abroad scholarships to
American students, helping
them to spend a year or a
semester in Sheffield. These
scholarships are entirely paid for
by US alumni donations, and
help us to attract more students
to our international exchange
programme.
Matthew Irwin from Montana State is currently
studying in Sheffield and said, “The most
challenging and rewarding aspect of my course is
the research. What I enjoy most are the friends I've
made in Sheffield; without them my time here
wouldn't have been half as much fun. This
scholarship took a lot of weight off my shoulders, to
not have to ‘nickel and dime’ everything, allowing
me to breathe and enjoy myself and not worry
financially. I feel so fortunate to have been chosen.”

Since the last edition
of Donor News,
American alumni have
given $78,000 to the
‘University of Sheffield
in America’, bringing
our grand total to over
$275,000. On top of
this, American alumni
have given the Sterling
equivalent of over
$200,000 direct to the
University in the UK.
New York novelist
provides scholarship
fund
Did you know that the Sheffield graduate featured
on page 10 is one of our American alumni?
Originally from the UK, Jim Grant (aka Lee Child)
(LLB 1977, Hon LittD 2009) met his American wife
Jane (BA 1975) at the University’s Drama Studio.
They now live in New York City and are active
members of the ‘University of Sheffield in
America’. Jim and Jane earmarked two of the Jack
Reacher Scholarships for American postgraduate
students: £3,000 each has been awarded to Kevin
Gibbons (MSc Environmental Archaeology and
Palaeoeconomy), a graduate of the University of
Georgia, and David Woodsmall (MA Philosophy),
from Wesleyan University, CT.
$50,000 boost to glaucoma
research and diagnosis
Researchers at the University’s Medical School have been given the
opportunity to investigate new and improved diagnostic techniques for
patients developing glaucoma. Thanks to a very generous donation of
$50,000, the Sheffield team will use new high resolution imaging
equipment to evaluate new and discomfort-free ways to make a reliable
diagnosis.
Glaucoma can be a secondary problem stemming from acute or
chronic uveitis – a painful inflammation of the eye. Gonioscopy, the
usual technique for diagnosing glaucoma, involves contact with the
surface of the eye, making it uncomfortable and difficult to perform for
patients with uveitis.
Dr Raymond Harrison (MB ChB 1948), an alumnus now living in New
York, has forged an accomplished career as an ophthalmologist
specialising in glaucoma. His connection with academic researchers at
the University led to the donation of $50,000 from the Eye-Bank for
Sight Restoration to address this problem. Professor Ian Rennie, Head
of the Academic Unit of Ophthalmology and Orthoptics in Sheffield, will
use the donation in a study utilising a high resolution OCT (optical
coherence tomography) imaging machine, which it is hoped will lead to
advances in glaucoma diagnostics in the special group of patients.
Members of the Unit will conduct a clinical research programme to
evaluate the effectiveness of this new approach.
Bob Boucher
Scholarships
Californian
gathering
American alumni were exceptionally generous in
honouring the memory of former Vice-Chancellor
Professor Bob Boucher, who sadly passed away in
spring 2009. The USA Alumni Fund appeal in his
name raised an incredible $18,000, enough to
provide four Bob Boucher Scholarships. We know
that Bob’s family took great comfort from this
caring and generous response. (Also see page 2.)
Californian alumni enjoyed a
little piece of Sheffield in
September 2009, when the
American Alumni Reunion came
to San Francisco. Guests enjoyed
a dinner in the historic Westin
St Francis Hotel in Union Square.
With over 50 guests, this was
our largest gathering of Sheffield
alumni on American soil so far.
Let’s see if we can break this
record in 2010, when we hold
the American Reunion in New
York City. A provisional date has
been set for Saturday 4
September 2010.

Making a
difference:
scholarships and prizes help our students
The Dr Samantha Clowe
Engineering Scholarship
The family and friends of the late Dr Samantha Clowe
(PhD 2007) have provided a three-year postgraduate
scholarship for the Department of Engineering Materials.
The first recipient is PhD student Jacob Corteen, who is
working on the properties of metallic glass.
Tragically, Dr Clowe died suddenly in 2008, having
completed her doctoral studies at Sheffield the previous
year. While at the University she was involved in
knowledge transfer partnerships through IMMPETUS
(Institute for Microstructural and Mechanical Process
Engineering: The University of Sheffield). She began work
with Corus Steel in the Industrial Applications and
Construction Applications Department before her
untimely death. We wish to thank her family and friends
for funding the scholarship that now bears her name.

Norec
Scholarship
Ryan Marshall, a fourth-year
Mechanical Engineering student, is
the latest recipient of a Norec
Scholarship. The Barnsley-based
engineering company Norec Ltd
regularly makes the £2,500 award to
help a talented young engineering
student from the South Yorkshire
region who is encountering financial
hardship.
Ryan said, “I would like to thank Norec
very much for this generous award. It
will certainly make my final year at
University much easier financially and
allow me to concentrate on achieving
the best results I can.” Garry
Warburton, Norec’s Financial
Director, added, “The scholarship
offers talented engineers of the future
a very welcome helping hand,
especially during such challenging
economic times.”

The Greenside
Trust
Haider Ali is the recipient of a
scholarship from the Greenside
Trust, a private family trust run
by a retired member of staff of
the University of Sheffield, which
supports international students.
Haider is from the Swat District
of the North-West Frontier
Province of Pakistan and is
studying for an MA in
Governance and Public Policy in
the Department of Politics.
“I am learning new skills and
broadening the scope of my
thinking,” said Haider. “After
completing my studies in the UK,
I will be in a position to join many
governmental and nongovernmental organisations to
contribute my know how to the
needy and disappointed people
in the world. This scholarship
has proved to be a great relief
and heavenly gift for me, as it has
become possible for me to
complete my degree with peace
of mind. I am very grateful for
the generosity of the
Greenside Trust.”
Haider Ali with Miles Stevenson, Director of Development.
Eliahou Dangoor
Scholarships
Kershaw
Prize
Professor Sir Ian Kershaw
FBA (Hon LittD 2009), who
retired from the
Department of History in
2008, has generously
established a Dissertation
Prize to be awarded annually
for the best dissertation in a
subject outside British
history.
Nearly 100 students at the University will receive scholarships
worth £1,000 each thanks to the generosity of property
developer Dr Naim Dangoor. An Iraqi exile, who sought asylum
in Britain, Dr Dangoor is offering new scholarships to students
taking science, technology, engineering and mathematics
degrees by way of gratitude to the country where he was
educated.
The funding to the University of Sheffield forms part of a
£3 million total scholarship donation from Dr Dangoor to some
of the UK’s leading universities included within the Russell
Group and the 1994 Group. In total, the donation is worth
£4 million with matched funding from the government. The
first bursaries – to be called the Eliahou Dangoor Scholarships
after Dr Dangoor’s father – will be awarded to new students
this autumn.
Miles Stevenson, Director of Development, said, “Dr Dangoor's
gift of scholarships is a tremendous act commemorating his
father's memory and will help hundreds of students studying
at the best universities in the country. The University of
Sheffield is most grateful to Dr Dangoor. Philanthropy on this
scale shows remarkable foresight and generosity of spirit.”
Professor Sir Ian Kershaw.

Medal
donation
We were very pleased to receive
a Brunton Medal dating from
1937 to add to our collection of
University memorabilia. It has
been donated by Sue Napper,
the niece of Godfrey Bottomley
(BMet 1937), the medal’s
recipient. J Dixon Brunton (BMet
1908) made provision for two or
three medals and prizes to be
awarded each year at the
discretion of the Head of the
Department of Engineering
Materials for original research
on metallurgical subjects: the
awards are still made. We’d love
to hear from you if you have
similar objects that you would
like to donate to our collection.

“The Alumni Fund gave me
opportunities which went
beyond a good education
and which have made me
the person I am today.
I give to the Fund because
I want as many students as
possible to have the same
chances that I did.”

LOST?
Can you find any ‘lost’
alumni?
For every alumnus/alumna on
our mailing list, we think that
there is at least one more who
has lost touch with Sheffield. If
you have friends or family who
went to the University, please ask
them if they hear from us. If not,
please encourage them to
update their contact details at
www.sheffield.ac.uk/alumni/keep
intouch in time for them to
receive the annual alumni
magazine Your University in the
summer. Alternatively contact
me and I will be delighted to put
them back in touch with the
University.

The Pedal Car Society (PedSoc) was established in April 2009 by a
group of second-year Mechanical Engineering students eager to apply
a developing engineering knowledge base to a complex and challenging
task. With support from the University, the Wilson Memorial Fund and
the Alumni Fund the team designed and built a recumbent racer to
compete in the British Pedal Car Championship 2009 – in simple
terms, the pedal car is a sit-down bike with four wheels, powered by
human pedalling.
The championship consists of a series of races running from March to
September each year, varying in length from frantic one-hour sprints
to 24-hour tests of endurance. Races require between four and six
drivers backed by the vital race support team. In 2010, the team will
also compete in the Annual European Pedal Car Championships in
France.
Ewan Ashburn, PedSoc President, said, “Without the help and
assistance that the Alumni Fund provided, we would never have been
able to establish a team to take part in the British Pedal Car
Championship. PedSoc established itself as a unique University society
last year and will, without doubt, continue for many years into the
future – none of which would have been possible without the donors’
support. A massive thank you from the whole PedSoc team!”
