Bruno Busacca Dean of Fundraising and Alumni Engagement What does the world need today? This question is at the heart of the “Within our reach” Campaign. We asked ourselves what could make a real difference to build a better world. An ambitious but at the same time tangible project, which as Bocconi University, that was born from an act of great generosity and motivated by love and vision, we felt it was our duty to embrace. Today I would like to thank you, because together with you, who believe in the value of knowledge and who have chosen to stand by us on this journey, we were able to find the answers to all the questions we asked ourselves at the beginning. You who, with every small and large gesture, have shown how generosity has a transformational power, that can change the lives of both the givers and the receivers. Because philanthropy is like a drop of paint that slowly spreads out on a sheet of paper. It is the starting point of a virtuous circle, of an unending pact between generations, where those who have had, help those who need to have, those who have done, support those who will do. Over the years, more and more alumni, individuals, corporations, foundations and institutions have chosen to join us in building a new idea of the future. My personal and heartfelt thanks go to all of them. Believing in young people, creating real opportunities for them, supporting the development of knowledge and making it more accessible is the key to changing the future and improving the society we live in. Study, research and higher education will give us the tools to respond to the great questions of our time, providing the community with the best talents and the best solutions. Thanks to you, through your confidence and support, we have laid the groundwork for answering these big questions. Together, we have shown that building a new idea of the future through high-impact research and facilitating access to quality education, through young people is within our reach. Thanks for joining us on this journey, we still have a long way to go together and new goals to achieve.
