Alumni Ambassador Report: Conversations with Alumni
Over the last few months Alumni Ambassador Liz Gooster has taken part in a number of conversations with recent alumni to gather their thoughts on the community and how well it’s working for them.

Cancer Research UK has just launched More Research, Less Cancer - the largest ever philanthropic campaign by a UK charity. Their ambition is big - to raise £400m to power life-changing research that will transform how we understand, and overcome, cancer and make discoveries that have the power to give millions of people more time with their loved ones.
If you are inspired to support CRUK and are interested in discussing ways to contribute to their ambitious philanthropic campaign, please feel free to reach out to Tallulah at Tallulah.woods@cancer.org.uk. For additional information, you can also visit their campaign webpage.
