“I have been organising Cranfield alumni monthly gatherings and helping with regional events and activities. The best thing about supporting Cranfield is that you can get the feeling of being part of the Cranfield family, even though you are no longer at Cranfield.” Zhan Shi (MSc Strategic Marketing 2012), Account Manager, Netbooster

Realising potential Each year, Cranfield alumni and friends help to change the lives of talented students by supporting the University philanthropically.
