A flavour of the collaborative efforts that help us achieve our mission

Our academic colleagues help build connection with Cambridge, bringing ideas, research, opportunities and impact to life for donors, prospects and our global alumni community.

Academics' and senior leaders' vision and insights provide an enticing window into the life of the University today and contribute to lifelong learning for our alumni and supporters.

Through events alone this past year, more than 150 Cambridge academics worked with us to engage alumni and donors. Speakers showcased Cambridge's research into the effects of social media on teenagers; led discussions on our fascination and fear of AI; and explored how museums play a crucial role in cultivating conversation.

Beyond events, academics across Collegiate Cambridge have been instrumental in developing philanthropic gift opportunities, building relationships with donors and demonstrating the impact of philanthropic support. Partnership is crucial across this broad array of activities that help to cultivate lifelong relationships with our supporters.
