William Roth’s departure

After six years of dedicated service as our Development Director, William Roth leaves Univ to take up a new senior position in the Development Office of the University of Toronto.
Members of the College gathered to say their farewells on a snow-swept Oxford day, conditions that William joked were preparing him for his new Canadian Ä¢¹½tv.
William reflected on his time at Univ, noting that one is “only as good as the place that you represent� and thanking the many wonderful people he had met along his Oxford journey – the Development Office team, his PA Carol Webb, the staff, Fellows and Alumni of College. He also made special mention of Simon Cotterell, our long-serving Common Room Steward, and Bob Maskell, Univ’s former Head Porter; “Two little angels� who had helped smooth the transatlantic path on his arrival.
Thanking William for “six golden years of extraordinarily successful fundraising� and his “Deep and relentless commitment to College� the Master, Sir Ivor Crewe, highlighted many of William’s innovative fundraising initiatives and drives to engage our Old Members; Univ in the City, Young Univ, Univ in the Arts and the 1249 Society amongst them.
We all wish William well for the future.
