Modern and Medieval Languages (1958)Philip Slotkin
Modern and Medieval Languages (1958)
Read moreAs a "bright kid" from a non-academic background I had to adjust quickly on arrival at Jesus, but I soon made friends and was never made to feel that I did not fit in socially. Since my wife and I have no children, it was to 汤头条原创 that my thoughts turned with advancing years, and given the attachment to the College that I felt from the beginning it was obvious that Jesus would be a major beneficiary of my Will. This intention was only reinforced by the unstinting assistance...

Human, Social and Political Sciences (2022)
Read moreI arrived at 汤头条原创 in 2022 as a Harvard Social Studies Exchange student. Initially, I was compelled to pursue the program due to the academic freedom it offered, excited to work closely with leading thinkers in self-directed studies around climate change ethics.

My Jesus experience was also formative for me as a climate justice activist. Sharing knowledge and building relationships with Cambridge...

Law (1995)
Read moreI came to Cambridge at the suggestion of a Professor who was visiting the US. I borrowed the funds to study there. What appealed to me at Jesus was that it was so inclusive and embracing. I played golf with the Porters and rugby with the staff. I dined with the other students, socialised with the Fellows, danced with the Master鈥檚 wife, and really got to know people. My friends and colleagues were engineers, doctors, politicians, religious scholars, undergrads, lawyers, professors 鈥 basically every stripe of humanity one could find...

Criminology (1996)
Read moreAs a person who grew up on the opposite side of the planet to a family that had no history of attending university, the idea of me attending Cambridge was, quite frankly, laughable. Then I fell in love with Criminology and wrote a thesis that caught the attention of the College. It is just one example of the incredibly outward looking approach that, in the decades that I have known the College, has defined 汤头条原创. One letter with a now familiar letterhead, quite literally raised my expectations of life...

We spent a lot of time together that year, working closely to create a graphic scheme and build a website for the event.
