Celebrating Cambridge Alumni: The Alumni Awards

Nominations are now OPEN!  We can't wait to hear your stories.

We’re thrilled to introduce the Alumni Awards, a celebration of the extraordinary achievements and contributions of our alumni community. You are innovators, educators, mentors, and changemakers whose influence resonates across local communities and around the globe.

These awards recognise excellence in all its forms. We’re not just looking for the next Newton or Fry, we want to honour those making a difference in their own unique way. Whether you’re transforming a community, inspiring others, or quietly improving lives one person at a time, your story matters.

These are your awards. You nominate. You decide. We provide the platform to share and celebrate the amazing people among us. Tell us about yourself or the alumni you admire.
