The Reunion Gathering dinners this September are for those who matriculated in 1954, 1964 and 1974 (Friday 27 September) and 1999 and 2014 (Saturday 28 September). 

All Petreans from those cohorts should have received their invitation earlier this year. Please do let us know if you did not receive an invitation.

We are delighted to invite you to the annual Petrean London Drinks on Thursday 14 November, 7:00 - 9:30 p.m.

Tickets will be available to book for £18 via Upay from Tuesday 1 October at 12 noon.  Please find our guide to setting up an alumni Upay account here in case it is useful. Unfortunately it is not possible to bring a guest to this event to maximise the number of Petreans able to attend.

Petreans are warmly invited to a pianoforte recital by Mr Tomasz Ritter in the Master's Lodge on Saturday 23 November at 5:30 p.m. Mr Ritter will be playing a repertoire of Haydn, Clementi and Beethoven.

Tickets are free and available on a first come first served basis, with priority going to those who have not attended a William Smyth Concert in the past year. Petreans are welcome to bring a guest but spaces are limited so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. The dress code for the event is black tie. Attendees are also welcome to use one of their dining privileges to dine in College (with wine at an additional cost).

Please email Harriet on harriet.clark@pet.cam.ac.uk if you would like to attend and please state whether you would like to stay for dinner.

We are very pleased to be hosting an event in collaboration with the Centre for Geopolitics on Wednesday 27 November at 5:30 p.m. This event is part of our commemoration of the first formal admission of women to Peterhouse 40 years ago, and will be to highlight and celebrate high-profile Petrean women in the fields of geopolitics and international relations.

There will be a panel discussion in the Theatre followed by a drinks reception in the Lubbock Room. The panel will be chaired by former Master and BBC Diplomatic Correspondent Bridget Kendall, and will include Suzanne Raine, Phoebe Koundouri, Hannah Mayer, Finn McRedmond, and Sophie Boulter.

Thank you to Professor Brendan Simms (Fellow) for his work in organising this event.

All alumni and friends of the College are warmly invited to visit an exhibition which is being curated by the College Library and Archives Team. This fascinating exhibition spotlights the history of women at Peterhouse over the past eight centuries, in roles ranging from benefactors to bedders to scholars. The exhibition forms part of the College commemoration of the 40 year anniversary of women being formally admitted to the College.

We have organised an alumni-exclusive viewing of the exhibition on Saturday 14 December from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. This will be a drop-in with refreshments also available in the Lubbock Room. Please RSVP by filling in this form if you would like to attend. You are welcome to bring a guest.

The exhibition will be in place from the start of Michaelmas Term into the new year and can also be visited when the Library is staffed between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m, Monday to Friday. If you are unable to attend on Saturday 14 December, please email to let us know if and when you would like to visit during these times so that we can let the Librarian know to expect you.
