The Alumni & Development Office invite you back to Downing this September. 

Alumni Day and the Association Dinner is a great opportunity to connect with alumni of all ages and stay in College (discounted accommodation is available to book on Saturday night if you book for the dinner - see details in link below).

Complimentary refreshments are available in the Grace Howard Room, from 2-4pm, along with the opportunity to purchase Downing College Alumni Association merchandise from 11.30am. You are also invited to attend The Downing College Alumni Association AGM and Choral Evensong, with the Chapel Choir of Downing College, before dinner. 

You may also wish to take advantage of the exciting programme of lectures, tours and events taking place as part of the University's Alumni Festival over the same weekend. There are over 80 sessions to explore.  

We are offering our most recent graduates the opportunity to attend the Association Dinner at a special discounted rate of £50.00 per person. This limited offer is only available to alumni who matriculated in 2016 or later

Please encourage your contemporaries to sign up to enjoy an informal year group reunion. The seating plan for the Association Dinner is by matriculation year and you may express any seating preferences when booking.
