“I am honoured to Chair the LMH 150th Anniversary Campaign. The opportunity to study and grow as a person at LMH was transformative for me as it was for many others over the last 150 years. Thanks to the generosity of those who came before us, LMH has been a pioneer amongst Oxford colleges since its foundation. I encourage you to join me in supporting LMH’s future.”
Neil Simpkins, Chair of the Campaign (1984, BA Physics)
“Independent, long-term funding is needed to ensure the LMH can continue its commitment to excellence in education. We decided to make our donation to the Physics Fellowship because we want to be part of that future.”
Sarah Gould (1975 Physics) and Andrew Watson (Balliol 1972 Physics)
“I am proud to support the Wellbeing Team at LMH. I am grateful that LMH is recognising the importance of mental health for students today, particularly when the current state of affairs can create anxiety for all of us. As the parent of two college-aged daughters I know how important it is to have resources to support students navigating the University experience. The Wellbeing Team helps ensure all students can thrive and be productive members of the Oxford community, and the larger global community.”
Sharon Volckhausen (1992, MSt History)
"I’m proud to support the Fellows’ Research Endowment, which helps ensure that world-class research continues to thrive at LMH. My time at LMH shaped the way I think about the world, and that foundation came from being surrounded by people who were passionate about their research. Supporting this work is a way of giving back to the spirit of curiosity and discovery that meant so much to me.”
Stephen Kirk (1979, Engineering)
“I will always treasure the time I spent in the library at LMH reading to prepare for my weekly tutorials. Giving to the library endowment campaign allowed me to play my small part in making sure that the library will continue to be a resource - and a home away from home - for future generations.”
Howard Hogan (1992, Visiting Student)
“I was fortunate enough to attend LMH when there were no tuition fees and students were supported by maintenance grants. This is no longer the reality. As such, for all the good work on reducing barriers and improving access, students from a less advantaged background will never feel included or be able to realise their potential if they are financially excluded from critical activities. I find it very rewarding to hear the practical difference that my donation can make to these young lives.”
Tom Drury (1981, PPE)
