The Thomas Wade Society is an alumni organisation for all those who have studied or been involved with Chinese at the University of Cambridge. This involvement can range from having studied the tripos to research and teaching in China-related areas.

The aim of the Society is twofold. Firstly, to promote contact between Cambridge Chinese studies alumni through a combination of events (in the UK and China) and newsletters/updates. Secondly, to encourage contact between alumni and current Chinese studies students, staff and researchers at Cambridge.
