The annual Sermon Before the University will take place this Sunday in the College Chapel. Unlike previous years, this year's sermon will feature not one, but three different speakers - The Reverend Prebendary Dr Isabelle Hamley (Principal, Ridley Hall), Rabbi Charley Baginsky (CEO, @Liberal.Judaism) and @Zara_M02 (Ex-Officio, @muslimcouncil.uk) Speaking on the topic of 'Finding Beauty, inviting joy', this is a wonderful opportunity to hear from three women who will speak from the perspectives of each of the great Abrahamic faiths. We hope you can join us! Find out more 👉 external link

What advice do you think Phil Wang would give his younger self? 🤔 We asked the @kings.college alumnus the question in the latest edition of CAM, the Cambridge alumni magazine, which is live now. We also showcase the rising stars of Cambridge’s literary scene, explore the joys of a year abroad (anyone used a Soviet telex system?), and learn about hacking photosynthesis from the Zhang Lab at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry. And if that's not enough: catch up on the latest University news (including the launch of a new School), solve a brand new puzzle and get into all your favourite regulars. ☕️ Grab a cuppa and tap the link in @cambridgeuniversity's bio for a good read.
