Investing in the future of LBS

Portrait of Savio Kwan

A letter from Savio Kwan MSc09(1976), Campaign Chair

As an alumnus of London Business School I have gained so much from my relationship with the School over the years.

From the moment my application was initially rejected, to the awareness that it was what I would do for the School someday not what the School would do for me – I have treasured my connection with LBS.

For nearly 60 years our alumni have benefited from the tremendous amount of knowledge from faculty. Some have received a scholarship to come to get their degree, and all have roamed the halls of Sussex Place and now the Sammy Ofer Centre, learning with soon to be life-long friends.

The School has risen in the league tables and reached success at global levels. Its continued success, however, is rooted in the journey we walk together. As we continue to learn and interact with the School and each other, our ability to have an impact on the world grows and grows. This Fundraising Campaign gives all of us an opportunity to tip the competitive scales in favour of London Business School.

I am humbled by the role of being Chair of this Campaign and so I ask for your help in achieving our goals. Whether you are still in London or scattered around the world, I hope you will find a way to stay connected with the School. For the students that come after you, the faculty who teach them and the learning environment for all of us, this is where your support of our Forever Forward Campaign will make a difference. With our alumni and friends at the front of this mission, I know we can do it.

I look forward to the journey with you.

A letter from Emily A. Robin, Associate Dean, Advancement 

Our School has seen significant change since 1964. From humble beginnings, we now inhabit prestigious spaces in Regent’s Park, Marylebone and Dubai. We welcome 2,500 degree programme students and 10,000 executive education participants annually. Our 54,000+ strong alumni community live in 156 countries. Today, we offer programmes for every stage of post-graduate business and executive education and are consistently rated among the best in the world. 

The £200 million Forever Forward campaign creates an unprecedented opportunity to chart the course of the School over the next 60 years and beyond. Every gift, large or small, fuels our ability to have a profound impact on the way the world does business and the way business impacts the world. 

We understand that each supporter brings unique motivation, whether bolstering student scholarships, advancing academic research, nurturing our learning environment, fostering innovation, or contributing to our collective vision. 

A gift to the Campaign symbolises a vote of confidence in the School’s enduring legacy and amplifies our influence and prestige on the global stage. For alumni, our longevity will ensure that LBS will always remain in your corner, wherever you are. 

Please venture beyond the confines of this website. Engage with those who share our vision and champion our cause in your networks. Reach, advocate and join us in shaping a brighter future. Get in touch today and be part of something truly remarkable.

Thank you,

Emily
