Recruiting the best applicants is only the first part of the puzzle; we must also ensure that we are offering a conducive environment in which our students are consistently inspired, challenged, and galvanised. We must recruit and retain the top minds in their fields to provide teaching of the highest standard, as well as nurturing the academics and teachers of the future - furnishing the time, space and environment for our brightest young thinkers to flourish.
In order to do this, we need to provide appropriate resources for Research Fellowships and College teaching posts, which help maintain the great strength of the Cambridge education system - the supervisions. We also need to make provision for the College Library - the heart of academic life at King's - and to better enable our students to look after their social and pastoral health alongside the intensity of their studies.
