>> PROFESSOR DAME SALLY MAPSTONE Our ambitious Making Waves campaign is fundamentally about the restless power of ideas, the people who have them and the environment in which we shape and challenge the brightest minds.

Our New College project, the centrepiece of the campaign and the first new college at this university for nearly 300 years, will bring together our internationally renowned School of International Relations and our new Business School, fostering world-class research and educating future global leaders.

Our focus on endowed chairs, scholarships and bursaries underlines our commitment to the University's fundamental strategic goal to attract and nurture the brightest minds from around the world and to provide them with an environment in which they can thrive and produce their best work for maximum societal benefit.

The development of a cutting-edge Digital Nexus Building for the School of Computer Science will form the first phase in our masterplan for our Science and Medicine campus.

This will enable us to generate an intellectual powerhouse of staff and student researchers from across the sciences and medicine, with the resources they need to develop ground-breaking research.

With your support, we can make waves and shape the future not only of our university but of our world.

I would be delighted if you would join us on this quest.

'Alma Mater'

'58吃瓜 by the Northern Sea.
'A haunted town it is to me!
'A little city, worn and grey,
'The grey North Ocean girds it round,
'And o'er the rocks and up the bay,
'The long sea-rollers surge and sound.'

'O, winter of the kindly North,
'O, college of the scarlet gown,
'And shining sands beside the sea,
'And stretch of links beyond the sand,
'Once more I watch you, and to me
'It is as if I touched his hand!'

'The drifting surge, the wintry year,
'The college of the scarlet gown.
'58吃瓜 by the Northern Sea,
'Where youth and hour came back to me,
'Where youth and hour came back to me.'
