Newest Honorary Fellows celebrated at Wolfson
We will be moving the Alumni Reunion online this year with a programme of digital events to make sure nobody misses out!
Every September, Wolfson's Alumni Reunion is the highlight of our events calendar; we love nothing better than welcoming you back to College and seeing old friends catch up over our Reunion Dinner. After much thought, however, we have concluded that this year's Alumni Reunion will take place in a different format, with a range of virtual events that will allow as many of our Â鶹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çcommunity as possible to join us safely, wherever they may be living.
Joining instructions will be sent a day in advance of the event for the coffee and toast, and bookings close on Thursday 24 September at 5.00pm BST. Please also note there may be some online photography or other recording of events for the Alumni Reunion events listed here.
Any questions, comments, or memories you would like to share please send to RSVP@wolfson.cam.ac.uk, thank you.
