Last week staff came together in Broadgates Hall to celebrate their colleagues who have been working in College for more than 10 years. The Master thanked each Long Service Award winner for their commitment and contribution to the College community.

We are thrilled to extend our warm congratulations to alumna Beth Kume-Holland (2013, History) who has received not one but two awards this Disability History Month!

On 20th November, our Scholars and Exhibitioners new and old assembled in the Pichette Auditorium in their Scholar’s gowns to listen to a Lecture delivered by our Master, the Rt Hon Sir Ernest Ryder. Our annual Scholars’ Lecture and Dinner is a celebration of the academic achievements of our undergraduate students. 

We are pleased to share that Pembroke alum Professor Mark Thomson (Physics, 1985) has been selected as the next Director-General for The European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, starting in the new year.

At the end of last year, Sam was featured in the 2023-24 edition of Future Leaders, an annual publication which aims to recognise 150 of the most outstanding Black university students in Britain, with the goal of inspiring and raising attainment across the UK.

Earlier this term, Pembroke College Boat Club christened their new Women’s Boat, naming it after Pembroke alumna and Paralympic gold medallist Erin Kennedy. Members of PCBC, new and old, joined together at the Boat House for drinks and later celebrated the new boat over Formal Dinner in Hall, blazers and all!

Congratulations to Pembroke Student Anuraag Vazirani (MSt in Practical Ethics) who has co-authored a paper entitled “Guidelines for Ethical Use and Acknowledgement of Large Language Models in Academic Writing” that has been published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.

We are pleased to share that research findings by Pembroke Fellow Professor Yimon Aye’s lab group have been published in the journal Cell.

Pembroke student Henry Worsley (2021, History and English) talks to us about his new documentary 'Three Summers: A film about Ukraine'. Don't miss the film's screening at the Ultimate Picture Palace in Cowley later this month.
