How we can make a difference Published each October, Edinburgh Friends magazine updates donors, supporters and subscribers on a year of University activities and the impact of past philanthropic support and other forms of engagement, ongoing commitment and participation. It highlights pioneering teaching and research and poses questions and shares challenges that the University considers vital in addressing local and global issues. Each edition also includes a list of all donors and legacy pledgers for the previous academic year.
