On Saturday it was the turn of the incoming postgraduates to celebrate their formal matriculation to the University and Fitz. Events started with the traditional matriculation photo, followed by a series of academic talks by current Fitz postgraduates. The evening ended with a fabulous formal dinner in our dining hall - a great moment to meet new people, celebrate the wide range of courses being studied, and to mark the start of a new adventure!

📸 Many thanks to Dr Cleaver for the photography.

4/4 It was a moment to look to our past, and to our future. At the dinner we displayed the first examples in a set of portraits commissioned from Dasha Tenditna, a Cambridge-based photographer, which represent the whole College community. The project will develop across the coming months and we will share more images as it takes shape.

1/4 On Wednesday 30th September, the Fellows of Fitzwilliam College celebrated the 60th anniversary of the College's Royal Charter - when Fitzwilliam House (operated by the Non-Collegiate Students Board, which in 1869 had been set up within the University) became Fitzwilliam College - and so a self-governing entity.
