The Alan Turing at King's Initiative

The sun is shining (or at least was) and our @kingscollegecricket team is certainly making the most of the good weather - and bringing in some talented footballers and even a rugby player! 🏏⚽🏈 We caught up with the team's Captain, Ram... "It has been a very good year for us starting the cupper's campaign with three wins in a row and sitting first in our group. We have had lots of fun playing, bringing King's their first cricket win since 2019 and making it to the quarter finals of the cupper's competition. I think what's made the difference for us this year has been the attitude and team morale, where we all play to have fun primarily and then the winning follows. This is essential since most of the team have exams this term." #cambridgecollegelife @camunisport @kingscollegefc

Did you know that the exhibition ‘Isherwood in Cambridge’, currently at the @parkerlibrary of @corpuscambridge, has been curated by King’s alumna Eliza Haughton-Shaw (KC 2016) and features illustrations by the also King’s alumna and former member of the @kings_art_rooms illustrator Anna Trench (KC 2007)? Anna was asked to illustrate Christopher Isherwood’s sinister and playful ‘Mortmere’ stories which Isherwood created with his friend Edward Upward while undergraduates at Corpus. ⏳ Open until 4 June (opening reception 22 May, 4pm, Parker Library) #ChristopherIsherwood

A very special ceremony today, where over half of the graduands were receiving their MBA degrees (so many 'green hoods' on display!) and the lining up took place in a very sunny Webb’s Court. See them all leave College via the King’s Lane Gate behind the Deputy Head Porter and the Praelector. Congratulations to all! Enjoy the rest of your big day and share some of your photos with communications@kings.cam.ac.uk or tag King’s in your posts. @cambridgeuniversity @cambridgejudge #cambridgegraduation

Unfortunately, our old hive perished over the winter. We have since found two new hives to cherish and so this is one of the first inspections of the season… with many more to come. We hope you all welcome the new bees with love ❤️. P.S. spot the queen bee in pictures 8 & 9!!!

All shades of pink and purple met in the Cambridge sky last night, and so many gathered on the Back Lawn to try to capture it on camera. 😍 Thank you for sharing the moment with us, keep tagging the College in your posts and fingers crossed the show will continue tonight! #northernlights #cambridgecollegelife 📷 by @_sjnl

Bodley's Court has proven to be a great revision / alfresco lunching / end-of-the-week catching up spot today. 🌷

...and they're back! Make the most of this lovely evening and walk down the path to see them up-close(r). #gardeningatkings💜 #cambridgecollegelife #cambridgecows
