Festival of Minds Reunion: a weekend to remember

The recent Festival of Minds Reunion was a spectacular event, reuniting over 1,000 alumni from around the world for a weekend filled with celebration, learning and reconnection.

The Reunion was a remarkable success for the Forever Forward campaign and a standout element was the incredible generosity displayed through the Reunion Class Gift. Thanks to the heartfelt contributions of our alumni, we raised over £630,000.

The scale model of The Thread – a physical manifestation of our alumni’s connection to the School – and a Forever Forward photo mosaic wall also generated lots of interest amongst attendees looking to play their part in the Campaign.

Emily Robin, Associate Dean of Advancement, expressed her gratitude for the community’s support, while alumni including Campaign Leadership Board members Piers Lindsay-Fynn MiFPT2004 and Michael Schad MiFFT2003 shared their motivations for giving, highlighting the importance of supporting future generations of leaders.
