'Cambridge Great Expectations' Exhibition

What are your 'Great Expectations' with your Cambridge degree?

Heidy and I organising the degree wall at the Faculty of Education.

We are inviting Cambridge students from the Faculty of Education to share their dreams and struggles while pursuing their degree at Cambridge, contributing to our “Cambridge Great Expectations” art exhibition to mark Women’s International Day week.

This collective art exhibition consists of participants adding their thoughts and feelings to the Cambridge “degrees” templates, available in electronic and print-out versions, then displaying their “framed” degrees on the blue boards at the back of the faculty’s ground floor, where the vending machines, coffee, and social area are located. By the end of Women's International Day week, we hope to see a full “wall” displaying a collection of Cambridge degrees, allowing us to learn more about ourselves and our peers' hopes, dreams, and struggles. They are also welcome to take a picture and share your work on social media using the tags #cambridgegreatexpectations and @clareccam.

Although originally intended to highlight women’s struggles in higher education, all genders are welcome to join in: Pip’s and Estella’s alike. Non-students are also welcome to participate and find their own way to share their joys and challenges working at Cambridge.
