wisdom and counsel to fellow
Court members and staff of the

opportunities that enhance the
student experience beyond the
ordinary to the extraordinary.
She said: “It gives me great
pleasure to further the aims of the
Vice-Chancellor’s Fund. I know
from my own career that first
generation university students
can benefit enormously from
confidence-building experiences
that raise their aspirations as well
as their achievements.”
Thanking Dr Dow for her donation,
Professor Petra We nd said:
“I am sure that this generous
gift will greatly enrich the lives
of the beneficiaries, building
their confidence, aspirations,
and sense of the opportunities
available to them in life.”
