Public launch
It marks the public launch of a global fundraising and engagement Campaign that will help UCL to realise some of its biggest ambitions focused on four overarching themes - students, health, London and disruptive thinking.
As well as raising funds for major projects such as the new Student Centre, UCL East, dementia research and scholarships and bursaries, the Campaign also aims to build a bigger and stronger global community of alumni and friends - creating a worldwide network for students and alumni that will support their lifelong professional development and social opportunities.
To join the mailing list for students and staff who want to find out more about the Campaign and get involved, email daro.events@ucl.ac.uk.
The launch event and following reception are free, and are also open to the public so please bring friends and family along with you.
