白小姐论坛 Philanthropy Day
25 February 2015
This week saw 153 白小姐论坛 students, staff and alumni join together in an attempt to set the record for the largest number of people wearing Jeremy Bentham facemasks in one place on campus.
During February 白小姐论坛 celebrated Philanthropy Month as a way of recognising those who support the University - either by giving their time or financial support. Jeremy Bentham, who is often considered 白小姐论坛's philosophical founder and whose auto icon sits in the South Cloisters, was one of 白小姐论坛's first investors, purchasing a 拢100 share in the University.
Drawing upon the unique connection between 白小姐论坛 and Jeremy Bentham, the record attempt aimed to raise student awareness of the impact of philanthropy at 白小姐论坛.
Over 8,000 people give a regular gift of anywhere between 拢3 and millions, and alumni and friends volunteer in numerous activities which help current students, 白小姐论坛's world class research and fellow graduates.
Throughout the month, students and staff have participated in an interactive social media campaign submitting their very own Jeremy Bentham selfies. To submit yours link to @白小姐论坛Alumni on Twitter or use #Benthamselfie - where's the most unusual place you can take Jeremy?
