Michaelmas Drinks

In September we hosted our annual Michaelmas drinks reception at the Oxford and Cambridge Club in London.

We had a fantastic turnout of over 100 alumni!

It was brilliant to see so many of you and to share updates from our current campaign Bridge to the Future.

We hope to see you at our next drinks event in Spring.

1966 & Before Reunion Luncheon

110 alumni and their guests from 1966 and before returned to Queens’ College in October for their 60th Anniversary Luncheon.

Attendees were treated to a talk about the future of the College, a drinks reception in Old Kitchens and a three-course lunch in Old Hall. An organ recital and an exhibition in Old Library rounded off a memorable day.

We were thrilled to welcome so many familiar faces back to College including some of our oldest alumni.

El-Erian Institute Lecture

We were delighted to host the El-Erian Institute of Behavioural Economics & Policy’s Annual Lecture in October.

Professor Katy Milkman shared her insights into the science of behaviour change. She explained how economics and psychology can be harnessed to impact decisions, from health and financial planning to educational outcomes.

It was fantastic to bring together students with members of our community including past Presidents Lord Eatwell and Dr Mohamed El-Erian and current President Dame Menna Rawlings.

Hong Kong visit

Development Director & Fellow Rowan Kitt travelled to Hong Kong for alumni meetings in November.

Rowan shared news about the future of Queens’ and our current campaign Bridge to the Future.

30 alumni met for lunch at the Hong Kong Club which was kindly organised by alum Roy Pang.

The gathering was an excellent opportunity to catch up with friends and make new connections. Many thanks to Roy for planning the event.
