Thanks for the memories...

A group photograph and a certificate of attendance at Wolfson College in Cambridge would be among the precious memorablia the four press fellows for the Michaelmas Term 2004 would be taking home as the programme comes to an end. They reflected upon their study projects over a farewell breakfast with the Wolfson Press Fellowship programme director John Naughton and his assistant Richard Synge. Present were Bill Kirkman, the founding director of the press fellowship and Hilary Pennington, the programme administrator. Over the last 25 years, the fellowship has given journalists from all over the world a chance to stand back from their daily work to concentrate on undertaking a study of their interest. An important aspect of the programme is the opportunity to be integrated into the life of the College which is the most cosmopolitan in Cambridge.

The man with a mission...

Soft spoken but firm in his work. The new director of the Malaysian Students Department in London has outlined what he aims to achieve in the coming months. Dr Syed Raisudin Syed Abdullah wasted no time as he embarks on his mission to face the new challenges.

As Time Goes By

With the cool afternoon wind blowing softly against my face and the picturesque King's College in the background, I am cherishing my final moments in Cambridge. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was belting out 'As Time Goes By' from my CD player as I reflect upon the past three months I've been here. Cambridge is a beautiful city made famous by its academic excellence. It is also a cultural melting pot with students coming from all over the world for their academic pursuit in Cambridge University, one of the greatest centres of learning. King's is one of the oldest of the 33 colleges in Cambridge. It was founded in 1441 by Henry VI and has since become a premier tourist attraction.
