Cambridge is in the top five in two sets of global rankings published earlier this month, taking fifth place in the QS World University Rankings and joint fourth place in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Reputation Rankings.
Sam Sudar (St John's 2011) explains that studying an eclectic combination of subjects helped him discover his true passion. Today he’s developing an app for a global health project.
Promise Knight (St Catharine's 2007) tells us about her childhood in the Nigeria and in the UK, and how Cambridge made her challenge her perceptions of herself.
Since childhood Esuna Dugarova (Churchill 2005) was driven to learn more and see the world. Today she is working for the UN in New York and inspiring girls to pursue their aspirations, while remembering their roots in today's globalised world.
Vinayak Dalmia (Darwin 2006) tells us about taking second chances, the magic of technology and why he still uses abstract thinking skills to this day: “Cambridge taught me about the joy and the power of camaraderie. Although my studies were challenging, I soon realised I wasn't alone. In tackling common problems, I found lifelong friendships.”
Get your diaries at the ready - 2017 is going to be a busy year. With lots of events on the horizon, there's sure to be a reason to reconnect with Cambridge in the months ahead.
