This Panel took place in the Keynes Library at 6:30pm on Wednesday 4th October. The 'Being Class Act in Cambridge' panel is an attempt to showcase the experiences of staff and students at the University and examine whether Cambridge's reputation as an institution for the select few rings true today. We invited our panellists to discuss their experiences being from a Class Act background, their time at Cambridge, and how they believe the 'Cambridge Experience' can become more inclusive & equitable. ............................................................................................................................
