Did you know Girtonians are spread across 111 countries and territories around the world?
Recently, the Mistress, Dr Elisabeth Kendall, and members of the Development team have been on an exhilarating journey across land and sea to meet Girtonians, hear about their news, and share the latest updates from the College.
Closer to home, there were visits to Cardiff and Bristol, where Dr Kendall gave a talk titled ‘Making Sense of the Yemen War, the Houthis, and the Red Sea Conflict’ – a topic that has been evolving almost daily. In Cardiff, the iconic Millenium Centre was bathed in green – some say this was due to the musical Wicked, but it was a perfect backdrop for a Girton gathering! Guests were captivated by the speakers, Professor Elwen Evans KC and renowned poet Dr Gwyneth Lewis MBE, the inaugural National Poet of Wales, who penned the bilingual text on the Millennium Centre’s façade. Our heartfelt thanks to Girtonian extraordinaire Dr Carol Bell for hosting this memorable event.
