In anticipation to the new Academic Wing and Wolfson's 50th Anniversary, the Development Office are inviting Wolfson alumni, students, members and friends to leave their memories and marks. 

To leave your mark the Development Office are inviting you to sponsor a workstation, tree, cobblestone or other item which will be in the new Academic Wing or the Stallworthy Grove to help raise £500,000 by 30 December 2015. Every pound donated will be matched by an additional £3 pounds from another generous donor.

Following on from the launch of the campaign in mid October there have been 85 donations made with £258,408 raised. 

To leave your memory the Development office are requesting you to share your fondest experience from your time at Wolfson with an image and a story. There have been memories contributed ranging from 1967 to 2015. Fond memories range from winter at Wolfson; “There's a nip in the air, but everyone loves it when it snows at Wolfson!” Anna Sarkissian (2015) to sport “The first Wolfson sponsored row to London in 1976, who would have thought we would end up at the National Theatre!” Kevan Martin (1975).

There are 34 days of the campaign remaining. To submit your memory, leave a mark or find out more please visit the campaign website or contact Elliot Falvert-Martin.
