We love it when our alumni come back to visit! 💚

Last weekend this group of wonderful alumnae came back to our Streatham Campus to celebrate 50 years since they were at the University of Exeter and take a look around some of the backdrops that feature in their university memories.

Thank you for taking the time to stop and share this lovely photo of your day.

When was the last time you visited one of our campuses?

Philanthropy has helped shape Exeter. From the visionaries who laid the foundations of our earliest institutions to those who funded buildings, scholarships and opportunities for generations of students, acts of generosity are woven into our story.

Their impact can still be seen across our University of Exeter campuses today. In the places we learn, the discoveries we make and the opportunities we create. As we look to the future, that same spirit of ambition and generosity continues to inspire what comes next, building on a legacy 175 years in the making.

At Exeter, we’re using the power of education and research to create real change: but the biggest challenges need us all. 💚 Your support continues to help accelerate discoveries, empower students from every background and create lasting impact for generations to come.

This we want to say a huge thank you 🙏🏻 to all our supporters for your continued kindness and generosity that makes all this possible.

In our 2026 alumni magazine we shared some stories of the impact your support has had and we'd love to invite you to have a read of our 'Impact of Giving' article today: https://publications.exeter.ac.uk/alumni-magazine-2026/impact-of-giving

In 2030, Exeter will mark 175 years since the establishment of the School of Art – the institution from which today’s University of Exeter traces its origins. Today, Exeter stands on the shoulders of those who shared a belief in what the University could become – and whose philanthropic support helped turn that belief into reality.

Were you part of a sports club or played sport socially during your Exeter days? ⚽

We have several alumni sports networks you can get involved with if you'd like to connect with other alumni who have sport in common: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/alumnisupporters/networks/exeter-sport/

You can also peruse a variety of sporting memories that alumni have shared such as this one from alumnus Paul Fuggle:

"I played in all of the games for the EUAFC 1st XI as a fresher in 1996-1997, and didn’t miss a 1st XI game over the next 2 seasons between 1997-1999. The football club WAS my University experience.

"I respected the senior players who I looked up to as a fresher; I remember my debut and the marrow; the away tours (particularly the only fools and horses tour to Brunel); the celebrations after winning our league in 1996-1997, representing the South West and English Uni teams, and playing in a testimonial game in front of hundreds of people against Exeter City; the pre season hill runs with Dizzy; and playing with some of the best players I ever played with in my life."
