Over half of what has been raised during the King's Campaign has gone directly to supporting students, to help in multiple ways, including bringing world-class scholars to Cambridge – and supporting them once they are here.📚 Georgia Katakou (KC 2021) studied an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History at King’s, supported by a GS Gives studentship with match-funding from the Cambridge Trust. Since then she has gone on to complete further study at the European University Institute in Florence and holds an an offer to further her research in Friendship and Gender in the Greek Left of the 1970s-80s at Princeton University. Speaking in 2022 about the impact of financial support, Georgia said; "I would not be able to continue at a postgraduate level without support from King’s. For families like my own, with caring expenses and anxious about making ends meet, spaces like Cambridge feel completely inaccessible. And for those of us who are not from the UK, securing funding is even more daunting. Being here on a studentship means that this is the first time in my adult life that I don’t have to balance 20 hours of part-time work with a full-time degree, just to pay bills. I feel lucky to be a part of the King’s community and to be on the receiving end of so much warmth, respect, and care.” 💜 #KingsCampaign #AlumniSupport #PhilanthropyInAction #ThankYou

As we celebrate reaching our £100m King's Campaign target, we're taking a look back at some of the projects which were made possible by your generosity.💜 Michaelmas Term 2023 saw the completion of the much-needed conservation work to the Chapel roof. The entire lead covering was removed, recast and replaced, all while maintaining access to the building for visitors, daily services and concerts. A team of experts from across the UK, skilled in the use of reclaimed materials, worked on the project for over a year. Next, 219 REC Alpha 420 Pure-R photovoltaic panels were fixed to each of the north and south slopes of the Chapel roof, which now supplies electricity to the Chapel and Gibbs Building via the College’s internal electricity network. 👉To learn more about the Chapel roof restoration project and discover what King’s is doing to become more sustainable, head to the 🔗 in our bio. 📷:Nick Saffell

Celebrating John Maynard Keynes (1883 – 1946) on what would have been his 142nd birthday! 🎂 Keynes was one of the most important economists of the twentieth century. The Keynesian School of economics shaped macroeconomic theory and practice, and influenced governmental policy for many decades. His life was intimately connected to King’s College. He came as an undergraduate in 1902 and was a Fellow from 1909 until his death. The Keynes Building, which bears his name, was built thanks to the generous donation he left to the College in his will. 📷 courtesy of King's College Archives

Looking back a week on from a sunny graduation. 🎓 Last Friday, 35 graduands celebrated the end of their graduate studies. Among them were Rebecca (left, now Senior Tutor at @trinitycollegeox) and Katherine (right), both 'Class of 2001', who decided to attend this graduation ceremony together as they had both missed the chance to collect their certificates over 20 years ago! Congratulations to the new members of our alumni community!
