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.

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
