Empowering Minds

King’s Fellows and academics engage in world-leading research, individually and collaboratively, and provide an inspiring, often transformational educational experience for our students. Investment and funding in this area is vital to recruit and develop the best academics across all disciplines.

We need to provide the right resources for Research Fellowships and College teaching posts to maintain the great strength of the Cambridge education system – the supervision. And we need to be able to attract and support more of the best graduate students, who will drive the ground-breaking research and new discoveries of the future.

An autographed edition of Jane Austen’s 'Sanditon' has gone on loan to Harewood House in Yorkshire as part of their new exhibition ‘Austen and Turner: A Country House Encounter’. The manuscript was gifted to King’s in 1930 by Jane’s great-great niece Mary Isabella Lefroy, who was the sister-in-law of King's Provost Augustus Austen Leigh (1840-1905). 👉 Learn more about the exhibition and King's surprising Austen connection: external link 📷taken by College Librarian James on his visit to Harewood House #JaneAusten #Sanditon #PrideAndPrejudice #Archives
