New Bequest Brochure Launched

The University of Adelaide would be a very different place if it weren't for bequests. Imagine North Terrace without Elder Hall, or the University without Waite campus - just two examples of resources that bequests have provided. A new brochure has been launched emphasising the importance of bequests in the University's development, both in the past and for our future.

"Bequests are an enduring and vital way of supporting the University," says Jon Russack, the University's Bequest Officer. "The new bequest brochure is designed to assist people who are considering making this special kind of gift."

The brochure provides a guide for anyone who is contemplating making a bequest to the University and suggests various ways for making the gift. It also explains that it is not necessary to create an external trust for bequests that are intended to last "in perpetuity".

To obtain a copy of the brochure, please contact Jon Russack at the Development and Alumni office, by telephone on (08) 8303 3234, or email jonathan.russack@adelaide.edu.au.
