Here is just a small selection of some of the wonderful feedback we have received from alumni during the Telethon campaign.
'I must say that [Emily Shaw] is an excellent “spokesperson” on behalf of the University and deserves great credit…[I] wish you well in your worthwhile campaign.' Roy Blackshaw
'I should like to thank you, and most especially to Vicky Woollett (Year 2 Geography) for the recent contact made in regard to the campaign. It was great to share common experiences with a fellow Geography student, not to mention recalling many fond memories of my time at Bristol between 1987 and 1990. I should be grateful if you would forward my best wishes to Vicky for the conclusion of her studies at Bristol and for a successful future career.' Jonathan Hughes (BSc 1990)
'Full marks for your scheme to get present students to phone past ones to seek money – it worked and he [Henry Chadwick] was a credit to the University!' Tim Watson (BSc 1963)
'Thank you for sending me the Christmas card from your student Yvonne Connolly... it was good to receive it and her note inside was beyond ‘the call of duty’ as was her telephone conversation with me.' FG Spear (MB ChB 1954)
'I certainly enjoyed my conversation with Christopher [Kay] – I don’t know if you try to match the undergrad to the person he/she is calling but in this case you succeeded well. If there is feedback please tell him I enjoyed my conversation and wish him well.' Reverend M.C. Stanton-Saringer (BSc 1971)
