Other College News Green Impact Award The Lucy Cavendish College community is proud to celebrate its Gold Award for the 2019/2020 Green Impact year, for the second year in a row! Established by the NUS, Green Impact is an award-winning behaviour change programme which empowers participants to make improvements to sustainability. A bespoke workbook provides a structured framework for taking action. Auditors for the Green Impact Awards praised our commitment to making the College greener: “Overall we are very impressed by how much Lucy Cavendish has done to promote sustainability and environmentally friendly practices among both staff and students this year.”
Lucy Cavendish renews its ANUK ‘assured accommodation’ accreditation Lucy Cavendish’s accommodation is regulated through a scheme run by Accreditation Network UK (ANUK). Lucy Cavendish College was inspected as part of a peer-topeer system which ensures the College adheres to all the principles of the Code. The Lead Verifier said: “The amount of information provided before the inspection was impressive and enabled the visit itself to be extremely thorough. Lucy Cavendish is in very safe hands with your staff, policies, procedures and implementation. I was also very impressed with the amount of information you provide to your student body and will be taking some of these ideas and sharing with others as ‘best practice’. You should be incredibly proud of all the work you and your team have done.”
Lucy Cavendish College is delighted to announce that three US Gates Scholars will be joining the Community Gates Cambridge offers 80 full-cost scholarships to outstanding applicants from countries outside the UK to pursue a full-time postgraduate degree in any subject available at the University of Cambridge. Joining us this academic year are three outstanding scholars.
