After graduating at Birmingham, Christopher Pring (BSc Chemistry, 1960) went on to a long teaching career in the UK and to as far as New Zealand.
Chris had huge passion for mathematics but studying at university simply wouldn't have been possible without his mother. She worked tirelessly to save enough for Chris to come to Birmingham and he knew his life would have been entirely different if it wasn't for her support. Chris was determined that finances wouldn't prevent others being able to fulfil their own dreams and chose to leave a gift to Birmingham in his will to support students and provide the opportunity for others to follow in his footsteps.
