Congratulations to alumnus Dr Dmitri Levitin on winning a @dandavidprize.org. Dmitri says: “It's no coincidence that I turned to early modern history while studying at Selwyn: for the last 50 years, it has been one of the world’s great centres of excellence in the subject.”

Many congratulations to Dorothea Gundtoft, who graduated last year from @selwyn1882.bsky.social! 👏 Read Dorothea's story 🧵

Very proud of the @selwyn1882.bsky.social students who received their MAs today. This was the generation whose studies were disrupted by the pandemic, and they’re fine young people who deserve this moment of celebration.

Hundreds of conversations have been had. Connections with Selwyn have been strengthened. And, additionally, tens of thousands of pounds have been raised in support of the college and its students. Our telephone campaign continues... www.sel.cam.ac.uk/alumni/suppo...
