Over the decades since LSE’s founding, activists, campaigners and advocates from LSE’s alumni community have worked tirelessly to create a more hopeful, equitable and sustainable world. Their work has brought about important changes and advances for under-represented groups fighting for equitable rights, and given societies a voice on global issues such as climate change and human rights.

Here are a few LSE alumni who have made or are making a difference through activism, campaigning and advocacy:

The alumni above are a only a handful of the many LSE alumni who have and continue to impact our world. The LSE Alumni Shaping the World special report formed part of the 2023 People and Change LSE Festival. A selection of our alumni were featured in the Festival's special exhibition: People and Change: LSE Alumni Shaping the World and many of those featured were chosen by faculty and staff across LSE.

Supporting the next generation of LSE leaders through scholarships

At LSE our mission depends on welcoming the most talented students, regardless of background. Today, that mission is under threat. Rising demand for scholarships, economic uncertainty, and global instability are putting access to an LSE education for many at risk – just when the world needs a diversity of ideas and perspectives the most.
