Instead of sending traditional Christmas cards (that might not arrive on time), donate to the Winton Society Foundation, which supports the University's hardship fund, and make a life-changing difference to a Wi******er student.
We'll send you a Christmas e-card in acknowledgement of your gift.

Thank you for all your donations so far!

Thought you might like to see how the West Downs ducklings are getting on.
Either I’m very popular with our feathered friends or they were expecting lunch. 🦆

Alumni Stories Series
“Wi******er has shaped me both personally and professionally. I thought I would just go to uni, get my degree, then go back to London and work in business. Wi******er changed that direction for me. In my job there’s no such thing as a regular day – I’m working with young people who are going through things that are life changing. I wouldn’t have any of that without Wi******er.”
Jonny Brason, Head of Service Delivery, Prince's Trust.

In early autumn we will launch our Professional Mentoring Programme for the new academic year. We hope that as an alum you will be inspired to take part after hearing about Andy's experience. Thank you Andy!
We see mentoring as a powerful tool, giving final years access to an informal “professional friend”.
We would match you to a final year from across the University, that you would meet regularly on an informal basis. This might be in person or virtually, you can choose how you would like to work with us.
It’s all about sharing your experience, successes, and lessons learnt, to listen to their issues and pass on your advice. Feedback from previous mentees consistently indicates growth in confidence and improved future outcomes.
Please email mentoring.careers@wi******er.ac.uk to find out more.

Our accommodation offering has changed dramatically over the years. We recently received this wonderful photo of alumni that graduated from King Alfred’s 90 years ago this year!
What memories do you have of your uni halls? Did you make friends for life?
