📢 TFC 2024 UPDATE Hi, I'm Natalie, and I'm a final year undergraduate at King's studying Geography. It has been an amazing start to the telephone campaign so far, with so many people answering the phone and taking the time to talk to us. I've heard so many great stories from alumni so far, entailing people's experiences at King's, and their involvement with societies, activism and shaping the college to be the welcoming space it is today. As a soon-to-be graduate myself, I have received some really valuable advice from alumni before I take the huge step of starting my career. It can feel daunting at times, but I've had so much reassurance from the people I've spoken to which is really appreciated. I participated in the telephone campaign in my first year, and after having such a positive experience I decided to return as a caller this year too. This year's priority projects are vital in making sure there is a safety net for students at King's, and every donation received helps keep the College accessible to students from all walks of life. I'd like to personally thank everyone who has donated so far, I can assure you that those donations mean so much to the current, and future student body. I look forward to speaking to more alumni over the next week! ** If you want to know more about this year's campaign or wish to support the College directly, get in touch with tfc@kings.cam.ac.uk Together we make King's.

Another sunny and quiet pre-Easter term morning, and PhD candidate Jamie has been patiently waiting for the kingfishers to perch on the branches of one of the willow trees on the river bank. Can you spot the Chapel behind the foliage? 💜 Thank you for sharing these with us, Jamie, and for making the time to capture beautiful moments before many of us have even had our breakfast... #cambridgecollegelife #wildlifeofkings @trinityhallcamb

The Lent Term issue of CAM is out now, and with it the name of the King’s alumna revisiting her old College room and meeting its current occupant… Both Zadie Smith (KC 1994) and first-year student Romeo describe V6 (Bodley’s Court) as “luxurious” – it certainly has one of the best views in town. Here is where Smith started writing ‘White Teeth’, and where Romeo got a fresh start. Read about it on issue 101 of CAM – 🔗 in bio.

How about a 'spot the differences' game looking at this photo taken exactly a year ago? 🌷 Happy Easter to all King's members and friends celebrating today! With the clocks 'springing forward' we have had one hour less of sleep but the long weekend is not over yet...

Only a few more sleeps until Easter, but (spoiler alert) all the chocolate eggs have already been found in the College gardens! 🐇 On Saturday 170 members and their families came back for their 20th-25th-30th anniversary reunion - many followed Head Gardener Steve to the Fellows’, Provost’s and Bodley’s gardens, while others toured the new student accommodation and revisited the King’s Bunker for old times’ sake. Thank you to everyone who came along and to all the staff in College who helped make the day so special. 💜 #cambridgecollegegardens #easteregghunt

Congratulations to all who came back to College and Cambridge on Saturday for their MA graduation ceremony. A special shout-out goes to those eight of you who were receiving your BA degree as well as your MA, as the pandemic disrupted your plans the first time round. The @kingscollegechoir and @kingsmencamb were so well represented at this ceremony we almost expected them to break into song in the very busy Chetwynd Room before they all set off for Senate House. Remember to share any photos you took in the sun, wind or rain (yes, we had four seasons in one day!) with communications@kings.cam.ac.uk or tag the College in your posts. #cambridgegraduation

On this day in 1724 the foundation stone was laid for the Gibbs building. Since then, the iconic building has been the venue for countless student supervisions and nerve-wracking admissions interviews, and continues to be where many King’s Fellows research and teach. We will be marking Gibbs' 300th anniversary over the coming months, but if you are in College this morning, make your way to the Audit Room where the Library and Archives team will be sharing manuscripts and items that celebrate the building and its occupants over the past 300 years. You can also read their wonderful blog post 'Gibbs, Groats and Gowns' at kcctreasures.com (🔗 in bio) #Gibbs300 Photo taken by @acambridgediary
