Join us for an afternoon of informal mingling as we send this year’s freshers off on their journey up to Cambridge!  Whether you are a first year, a current student or a Cantab alumni, this is an excellent opportunity for you to catch up with old friends and make new ones.

This year we’ve invited Mr Vikram Nair, the newly-minted MP for Sembawang GRC, who read Law at Trinity to offer a few words of advice to the incoming freshers.  Vikram is also a lawyer at Norton Rose, specialising in international arbitration
