News from our students
Nicola Filzmoser wins 10K Cambridge University Entrepreneurs prize with ‘Happyr Health’ MSt student Nicola Filzmoser (Entrepreneurship in Healthcare Innovation at Judge Business School) in partnership with Cornelius Palm, won the Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE) 10k Challenge for ‘Happyr Health’ which aims to help children with migraines. Happyr Health offers cognitive behavioural therapy to children with migraines via mobile games. They hope this will help to make growing up more playful than painful. It uses technology, initially an app, which delivers supporting and coping strategies for the child and its family in the format of games and stories.
Rebecka Nordenlöw’s poem is published in The Mays Anthology Rebecka was delighted to share the news that one of her poems was published in the 28th edition of The Mays. Since 1992, The Mays has published an annual selection of the best and most exciting new writing and artwork from current students at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. It is widely recognised and respected as one of the most notable student-produced anthologies, reaching every major literary agent each year, and making an appearance in bookstores across the country. Rebecka is a third-year English student and received the Madeleine Jörgensen Prize for First Class Results in Tripos in her second year.
Medical students graduate early and join the fight against Coronavirus The newest cohort of junior doctors joining the NHS and the frontline of the fight against coronavirus include 8 successful medical graduates from Lucy Cavendish College. Following guidance from the General Medical Council, permission was granted for the graduation dates of University of Cambridge medical students to be brought forward. This allowed many of our graduates to support the NHS as interim Foundation Year doctors, working in supported and supervised environments. Several Lucy Cavendish College medical students have commendably stepped into hands-on caring positions in nursing homes. Other medical students have taken on administrative and supportive roles in general practitioner surgeries and their dispensaries. Another body to benefit from LCC student involvement has been Cambridge Student Community Action. Specific involvement with their “Anxiety Slayers” project has been well received, a project which involves interacting with vulnerable children during the pandemic.
