Happy #iwd2026. From @queens.cam.ac.uk . With impact 💥

She was joined by Hannah Fry (Professorial Fellow), Joanna Scanlan (1980), Angela Chan (1992), Corin Robertson CMG (1990) and Helen MacNamara CB (Clare College)
Today we fly the flag to celebrate the birthday of Queens' alumnus, Alexander Crummell, who was born March 3 1819! Crummell was possibly the first black graduate of Cambridge, and we honour him proudly at Queens'.
A person in a red top stands at the rear of a punt, steering it along a river with several passengers seated. The scene features tall trees along the riverbank and a foreground of green grass with blooming purple crocuses.
A historic university courtyard with well-maintained grass and flowerbeds, surrounded by red-brick buildings with large windows and ornate details. A prominent tree frames the scene, and potted plants line the pathway adjacent to the building.
A historic, beige stone building with multiple chimneys stands in the background, surrounded by trees and vegetation. In the foreground, a well-maintained garden with green grass and a variety of plants is visible. Two people are walking on the lawn.
