 | A proud history
Aston has a long and
rich history as an institution of innovation and leadership, providing
its students with a high quality education and the skills necessary to
excel in industry and commerce. It is a proud tradition, and one that
is as strong today as it ever has been. Aston’s status and success has
always belied its size, and this is in no small part due to the
commitment and dedication shown by its students and its alumni. |

| A unique community There is a unique spirit of togetherness here; the close knit nature of
the campus community is often remarked upon as the defining feature of
Aston. Our graduates remember their time here with great fondness;
those inspirational lectures that excited young minds, those listless
hours hunched over piles of books in the library, those heady days by
the lake with friends. For many, these memories provide a motive to
give something back, to help provide for today’s generation, whose
ambitions and dreams equal those of the students that first set foot
through our doors all those years ago. |
| Working together
Now, more than ever, we need to harness that spirit of togetherness. As
public funding continues to tighten, we increasingly look to alumni to
help us provide that ‘margin of excellence’ that makes the Aston
experience so unique and valuable. Generous support from alumni
supports scholarships, bursaries, new technologies, educational
initiatives and facilities to supplement the excellent work of the
Students’ Guild. Donations to Aston, of whatever size or frequency,
have a tremendously positive impact on our students and augment the
opportunities that an Aston education affords. |
