Welcome
Vice-Chancellor FROM THE
I am in a privileged position as Vice- Chancellor to be able to meet alumni across the world and I am constantly impressed by the fantastic contribution that our graduates are making to society.
Surrey graduates include leaders in global companies, successful entrepreneurs, BAFTA and Oscar awards winners, and inventors whose breakthrough research has transformed our lives.
This year we had a record number of nominations for our alumni awards. Our 2018 winners have made outstanding contributions to their communities and professional fields, and you can read their remarkable stories in this issue.
There’s a real energy, momentum and ambition to Surrey and our strength is in our people – from our successful alumni to our dedicated staff and talented students. This year our pioneering research into nutritional science has been recognised by the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, the highest accolade for any academic institution. Our researchers have uncovered new links between diet and preventable disease, and brought about major changes in government policy.
Our alumni and friends are our greatest champions – whose support and giving play an invaluable part in our growth. We are extremely thankful for the generous donations made to The Chancellor’s Appeal, launched to celebrate our 50th anniversary.
Your contributions are creating real opportunities for our students – from funding vital bursaries for professional training placements to ensuring they have access to exceptional teaching facilities. A recent generous gift from the Fluor Foundation has upgraded our famous pilot plant, which gives students experience of running a real chemical production process.
Legacies have a profound and lasting impact on current and future generations of students. One such bequest is that from Kenneth Longhurst, whose wish was to enhance the facilities and resources for our Veterinary Medicine students to equip them to succeed and make a real difference as 21st century vets.
Our new University strategy sets a clear direction for the future to deliver agile and sustainable growth to become a leading global university. Underpinning the strategy are five core values: respect, ambition, collaboration, integrity, and excellence. As we move into the next 50 years of the University of Surrey, these values will guide us to success.
Our alumni, friends and partners have always been and will always be a vital part of our story. Thank you for your continued support.
