Hello world, Cambridge calling ☎️
Our 2025 Telephone Campaign starts today! Over the next two weeks our fantastic team of student callers will be connecting with alumni around the world to update them on life at King's and share with them our latest fundraising priorities.
The Campaign is also an opportunity for our students to gain invaluable advice about life after King's from those who have been in their shoes, so if you can spare a few minutes to chat, it would be much appreciated!

Congratulations to the 8 recipients of honorary degrees from @cambridgeuniversity earlier this week 👏
We're especially proud to see Sir Oliver Hart (KC 1969), Nobel Prize-winning economist and King's alumnus, recognised with a Doctorate in Science. Sir Oliver is pictured with King's Provost Gillian Tett after the ceremony on Wednesday.
Also recognised for his philanthropic contributions was acclaimed musician and philanthropist Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr – known professionally as Stormzy. Back in 2018, King’s alumnus Joseph Vambe (KC 2018) was one of the first two Cambridge students to be awarded a Stormzy Scholarship. Joseph, from south London, graduated in 2021 with a 2:1 in Human, Social and Political Sciences (HSPS) and stayed in Cambridge an extra year to study for his Master’s. In May 2022 he was elected as a Labour councillor on Southwark Borough Council, representing the Chaucer ward in which he grew up. He is the youngest councillor on the authority.
If you enjoy live classical music in picturesque settings, the Cambridge String Quartet may have just the thing for you! 🎻🎵 ✨
The quartet, which includes violinists and King's alumni Stephane Crayton (KC 2014, left) and Dr Rachel Stroud (KC 2015, right) are embarking on their latest tour, Fairytale, which sees them performing in some of the most atmospheric chapels in Cambridgeshire.
Join them for an evening of magic and wonder featuring music by Stravinsky, Dvořák, Janáček, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Hensel.

On this day 113 years ago Alan Turing (KC 1931) was born.
From the papers he published at Cambridge which are now recognised as the foundation of computer science, through his vital cryptanalysis work at Bletchley Park during the Second World War and cracking the German naval Enigma code, to his exploration of the idea of artificial intelligence, the importance of Turing and his impact on our world are hard to overestimate.
As well as a pioneering thinker, brilliant mathematician and cryptographer, Alan Turing was also a gay man who was appallingly treated as a result of his sexuality. In 1954, at the age of 41, Turing took his own life after being prosecuted for homosexual acts, still considered criminal in the UK at the time. Sixty years later, in 2013, he was posthumously pardoned by Queen Elizabeth II.
King’s is hugely proud of its association with Alan Turing. In January 2024 a new 3.7 meters tall sculpture by Sir Antony Gormley was installed at the heart of the College, between the Gibbs Building and Webb’s Court. Titled True, for Alan Turing, it was commissioned by King’s as a visible recognition of Turing’s life and achievements.
