Telethon

Every year, we reach out to over 2,000 alums to ask if they would be willing to talk to current students. They share their experiences of Hertford, insights and career advice, and help us raise money for student support.

Despite the challenges which 2020 has thrown at all of us, the telethon went ahead ‘virtually’ and our student callers were able to reach out to Hertfordians worldwide. As well as receiving vital careers and life advice, our callers were able to have a chat about Hertford’s Future Fund.

Hertford’s Future Fund is all about celebrating Hertford’s reputation for openness and dynamism, whist continuing to plan for the college’s future.  It will underpin every aspect of college life from supporting students financially to providing the best facilities for future leaders to study in, and promoting the ongoing teaching and research of the future.

Our goal is to ensure that Hertford remains an inclusive, welcoming environment of academic excellence.  The Fund is intended to allow Hertford to continue to thrive in these areas and future proof against any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.
