Whether you’ve been to many Earth Sciences Alumni Days or this will be your first, the Alumni Day and Dinner is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with staff and fellow alumni. Join us in 2025 for a unique Alumni Day at The Bullard Labs, Madingley Rise – a one-off chance for you to explore and find out what research and learning happens at our West Cambridge site.

In response to feedback from the 2024 Alumni Day, the programme will allow guests to participate in multiple tours and/or activities during the afternoon as well as explore the grounds.

The programme starts with Registration at 1:30pm. From 2pm we open with a welcome from the new Head of Department, then enjoy staff talks to appraise you on the history of the site and the research being undertaken at the Bullard, student talks on projects from the past year, as well as a number of brief tours and activities including a visit to the new Museum Collections store/Research Room. A map of the site will be provided and guests are encouraged to explore the beautiful grounds, enjoy the lawn, spend time in the splendid tea room and catch up with your peers at your leisure. An outline programme will be made available on the Alumni Events pages of the Department website.

At the end of the afternoon, there will be a drinks reception on the lawn (weather allowing) before we head to Downing College for a delicious meal in eye catching surrounds.
