Welcome to the Oxford University Society in Cambridgeshire (OUSC).
We are a group of Oxford alumni and former lecturers who now live in Cambridgeshire. We organise talks on a wide range of topics, visits to interesting places in the area, and opportunities to socialise. We also contribute to activities in local schools who are encouraging young people to apply to Oxford and organise an annual get together for new Oxford students just before they embark on their first term.
There is a programme of talks in central Cambridge as well as social meetings each year. If you would like to know more or join our email list please contact us on <ouscambridgeshire@gmail.com>
Send us your name and email address, as well as the college you attended, subject and year of matriculation.
