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 Vice- Chancellor, 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 Professor Bob Boucher CBE, FREng. 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. 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, Front cover image benefitting students in Lee Child (far right) with a group of Jack Reacher Scholars – see page 10. all five faculties.

2 Message of thanks

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 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.

3 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 This year our fundraising efforts were helped by the city. This spirit of generosity has been repeated Development Office’s move to larger premises, which include a fantastic call room for our team of dedicated, now, over 100 years later, through the Sheffield enthusiastic student callers.

5 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.

6 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 visit the website at www.bountyboat.com.”

7 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. The Nightline mascot. 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 Sheffield applicants are encouraged to raise additional funds through their own fundraising. University Students’ Union President Paul Tobin acknowledges the positive effects of support Nightline 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 Sheffield Nightline is an invaluable have benefited I would like to say thank you to our donors. Attending Alumni welfare service, similar to Foundation meetings is one of the highlights of my year.” Samaritans, available to the entire student population between the www.sheffield.ac.uk/alumni/foundation 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.

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 . s t

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!”

8 Guild members, past and present, on their tour of the new student residences. 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 The Sheffield Sabres en masse . received a £410 grant from the Alumni Foundation which funded various aspects of the programme. The Sheffield Sabres Claire Monk, the Guild’s Vice Master, said, “The annual dinner ended with a fantastic ceilidh where members The Sheffield Sabres (the American football team) were named the from all eras joined together. The celebrations were University’s Sports Club of the Year in 2009, following a winning season rounded off by a tour of the University and the new in which they topped their division table. A successful application for Student Villages. Without the Alumni Foundation’s £840 to the Alumni Foundation resulted in the purchase of six support the events wouldn’t have provided the same desperately needed sets of kit (helmet and pads). opportunities for our members. Thank you.” “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 2008- 09 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.”

9 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, MA English Literature

“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 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).

Lee and Dave were joined by (far left) Miles Stevenson, Director of Development, and Professor Dominic Shellard. 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, Literary hero inspires MB ChB Medicine new scholarships

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 best- selling 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 Lee Child's latest novel, 61 Hours , out in whom have now graduated thanks to this support. hardback in the UK.

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.

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 The University of Sheffield has an inspiring and proud motivated me to clarify what I want to do when I graduate – I’d like to tradition of support from an array of philanthropists. join the civil service or local government.

11 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 Medical School and organisations.

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.

27 Sheffield’s very own mean machine

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!”
