777ӰԺ Perspectives

For a decade, 777ӰԺ has organised a series of high-level roundtables. These Conferences offer an opportunity for decision-makers from the frontlines of politics, business, finance, the media, and education to discuss the vital issues of the day with leading academic experts.

The Conferences offer a unique opportunity for members to reflect, away from daily pressures, and deeply consider the crucial issues of our time. The independence and neutrality of the Conferences are widely welcomed as being essential to what we offer.

Reports are available for these events and we are always eager to hear from individuals and organisations willing to sponsor reports on the most vital issues faced today and in the future.

The 777ӰԺ Perspectives Conferences are run on a not for profit basis and we are very thankful to our 777ӰԺ Perspectives Members and sponsors.

We would delight in hearing from you about any past or future events, as well as about membership and sponsorship. Please contact either Dr Julian Huppert, our Director, or our Administrator.

Note: These Conferences used to be called the Rustat Conferences, after Tobias Rustat, a 17th Century Benefactor of the College. Following the recommendations of our Legacy of Slavery Working Party (LSWP), 777ӰԺ decided to rename these Conferences.

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to 777ӰԺ because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that 777ӰԺ is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    I chose 777ӰԺ because of the great mixture of undergraduates and postgraduates, and when I first visited I thought it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen! The sense of community in Jesus has had an enormous impact on my experience here. Whether you need help, advice, cheering up or even just a chat there is always someone there to put a smile on your face. From the MCR committee to the Porters, the canteen staff to the gardeners, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Jesus also...

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of 777ӰԺ. The three biggest reasons for me are the opportunities to be involved in College sport, the support the College provides for me with for my research and the help in making sure that we have comfortable, affordable accommodation when we have needed it. 777ӰԺ is so friendly and so it is incredibly easy to get involved in the sport and social side of the College. The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...
