She said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI really appreciate the value that the University places on students\u2019 well-being and how they try and provide support in any way that they can. Reading is at the forefront of maintaining good relationships with students, staff and alumni, and I am looking forward to speaking to our community and hopefully inspiring them to support students in need.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For many students the future is unclear and they do not know how they will afford to finish their degree. As the academic year comes to a close, students find they have exhausted their funds regardless of whether they are from savings, work, family or loans. And it\u2019s more important now than ever to make sure our students have the support they so desperately need to complete their studies, and to ensure they are not forced to drop out.<\/p>\n<p>Any support you can give will truly make a difference to the students who need it the most.<\/p>\n<p>Our Summer Telephone Campaign will run from<strong> 13 June to 3 July 2022. <\/strong>If you would prefer not to be contacted, please email <a href=\"mailto:giving@reading.ac.uk\">giving@reading.ac.uk<\/a> or call 0118 378 8006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life at Reading is returning to something resembling \u2018normal\u2019 and the campus is once again bustling with life.
