The Alumni Festival 2025 takes place next month, from Friday 26 – Sunday 28 September. St Edmund’s College shall be hosting a number of events across the weekend:
Alumni Society AGM & Talking Ed’s
Friday 26 September, 2-4pm
Chapel (and online)
Join us for a very special hybrid event bringing together St Edmund’s alumni from all over the world. Online participants will be able to view the meeting and seminar live and participate remotely via video-link or written questions.
- The AGM is your chance to hear news from the College and the Alumni Society, and make your voice heard. You’ll receive updates from the Committee, the Master and Development Director, and be able to submit motions for consideration by the meeting.
- Talking Ed’s is the successful seminar series run by fellow Dr Parul Bhandari, where members of the St Edmund’s College fellowship present their research and methodologies to the wider community. This special alumni edition of Talking Ed’s will bring two St Edmund’s alumni together to present their work.

Beyond the Win: the Transformative Power of Sports
Saturday 27 September, 6pm
Garden Room, St Edmund’s College
Hear how an Olympic rower, Varsity rugby captain, professional golfer, and head coach of the Blue’s boat navigated the demands of high-performance sport, and how their experiences can inform your own journey, whether on the field, in the boardroom, or beyond.
Richard Phelps OLY , Rob Baker, Virginia Carta, Prof Ian Stone and Fergus Hughes will share reflections on their journeys, the intense pressures of competition, and the techniques they used to achieve sustained success. With Professor Chris Young they will delve into their experiences of reflection, leadership, and the enduring lessons learned through their sporting careers.

Alumni Reunion Dinner
Saturday 27 September, 7pm
St Edmund’s College
After the panel we will be holding a formal reunion dinner in the dining hall which St Edmund’s alumni and their guests are invited to attend.
Do you want to reconnect with your old crew or teammates? We are looking to bring together reunion groups for the dinner. If you took part in a sport during your time at St Edmund’s and would like to reconnect with your team, let us know!
From its earliest inception to the present day St Edmund’s has played an active part in the sporting life of the University of Cambridge. We want to showcase that heritage at the event and would love to hear from you about your experience of sports at St Edmund’s, and Cambridge more widely.
