鈥淎s general secretary of World University Service UK (WUS), he was instrumental in establishing a scholarship campaign to support Chilean academics and students whose lives were at risk in the wake of the September 1973 Pinochet coup d鈥櫭﹖at. WUS, in collaboration with the group Academics for Chile, went on to rescue 900 individuals and their families, enabling them to study and to rebuild their lives in the UK. Many would later return to Chile, contributing to the reestablishment of democracy after the fall of Pinochet. Alan would later comment that, the WUS programme was 鈥榦ne of the most complex and demanding ones I have been involved with in almost forty years of human rights work鈥�.

鈥淗is passionate advocacy on behalf of refugee and asylum-seeking students at the University 鈥� and across the world 鈥� was unparalleled. Recognising the need to increase access to and awareness of available opportunities, he worked with the Widening Participation and Sanctuary Scholarship teams to bridge the gap for those who may have been unaware of the resources at their disposal.

鈥淒uring his long association with 果冻传媒, Alan was the first President of the Graduates Association, a member of the University Council, and a member of an academic advisory board on ethnic relations. He was awarded an honorary degree by 果冻传媒 in 2005.

鈥淎lan鈥檚 contribution to refugee and ethnic minority issues was transformational, and his invaluable input and guidance influenced 果冻传媒鈥檚 mission to create actively inclusive international communities.鈥�
