#57 Diana Wood – Vice-Master (2003)

First and foremost, I am a doctor. I always wanted to be a doctor, and after a long career in clinical medicine I can honestly say it is core to who I am.    However, ironically, for someone who as Clinical Dean in the University was responsible for medical education in Cambridge from 2003 – 2020, what I Read more…

#56 Molly Fassbender (2001, European Studies)

Let me tell you how old I am. My boyfriend had a Sony Ericsson flip phone (with a collapsible antenna) when I went to Eds. And it wasn’t a retro thing. It was cool. When I got my Eddies acceptance letter in the postal mail – there was no website Read more…

#55 Christina Sevdali (2001, Linguistics)

When coming to the University of Cambridge to study, the biggest fear is ‘I will not belong here’. This terrible self-doubting feeling, rampant in academia also known as ‘imposter syndrome’ can be debilitating for anyone. Especially someone from a small country, that had finished a degree in a Greek University, Read more…

#54 Anita Pampusch (1969)

When I arrived at St. Edmund’s in April 1969 I learned that I was the first woman to live in college. Housed in the cottage behind the main house,, I was joined a couple of months later by Margaret Geib. I was a graduate (research) student at the University of Notre Read more…

#52 Anoka Abeyrathne (2018, Social Innovation)

I remember fervently praying and checking my student portal to hear back on whether I had got in. From the extensive education and financial checks to the college acceptance (where Eddie’s was my first choice – my incredible supervisor Neil is from the same college and recommended I apply to Read more…

#51 Edna Murphy – Bursar

It’s funny how things turn out. Here’s a family snap in the early 1980s. We are posing outside my digs on Huntingdon Road. And in the background……Mount Pleasant House! It is safe to say I couldn’t have imaged then how much a part of my life that building was to Read more…

#50 Amy Kravitz (2000, Medicine)

Like an indelible pen across a page, St Edmund’s has made such a mark on my life. When I arrived at St Edmund’s for Michaelmas term in 2000, I felt unsteady, unsure as to what lied ahead. I was coming to Eddies to study medicine, but rather than the wide-eyed excitement Read more…

#49 Vanessa Pearson (1999, Land Economy)

A dare took me to Cambridge and changed the course of my life. After I finished my undergraduate degree at Bond University, Australia, I was at a loose end. I was planning to continue to run a business that I started some years earlier, but I unexpectedly walked away. I Read more…
