As per tradition, the Goodenough Leavers’ Party, organised for Members leaving us this year, was an unforgettable evening, filled with heartfelt farewells and emotional moments. While it’s always emotional to say goodbye, we’re delighted to welcome our Leavers into the vibrant Goodenough Alumni Community.

Our newest Alumni can explore many more photos from the Leavers’ Dinner in the Good Library on Goodenough Global, the College’s Alumni platform.

Yesterday, Goodenough Members enjoyed an engaging Port Talk with the Ambassador of Panama, His Excellency Guido Martinelli, who shared fascinating insights into the country’s strategic role in global trade and the history and significance of the Panama Canal.

The talk highlighted Panama’s position as a key logistics hub, its commitment to sustainability as a carbon-negative country, and its appeal for investment and tourism.

Members also had the chance to experience a taste of Panamanian culture through beautifully handcrafted molas and traditional sweets. The event was yet another example of the intellectually enriching and horizon-expanding opportunities offered at Goodenough College.

By taking the time to pause, reflect, and connect with others, our members marked Mental Health Awareness Week at Goodenough College 💚✨

Throughout the week, Members came together to explore different perspectives on mental health, wellbeing, and personal growth. Through a series of Port Talks, speakers shared insights on everything from navigating support services to thinking about purpose, fulfilment, and what it means to live well.

We also heard from Members about the importance of making space for wellbeing amid the demands of postgraduate life, and the role that community can play in helping us thrive.

🙌 Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, experiences, and expertise to make the week such a meaningful one.

📖 Mental Health Awareness Week at Goodenough encourages open conversations, mutual support, and a stronger understanding of wellbeing within our diverse community.

Goodenough College library stars in a new Microsoft ad!
We often hear that Goodenough College’s historic spaces are truly stunning (which we quietly agree with), so it’s no surprise they make regular appearances on screen.
Take a look at this new advert, where our Charles Parsons Library takes centre stage.

We were delighted to welcome Dr Nomusa Dube-Ncube, South African Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training, to Goodenough College this afternoon for a lively and insightful discussion with South African students.

The College Director and Goodenough Members from South Africa were joined by senior officials from the South African Department of Higher Education and Training, a representative from the South African High Commission in London, and South African students from universities across the UK.

The debate covered important themes, including international study opportunities for South African students, the recognition of qualifications, and the South African higher education system.

It was a valuable opportunity to foster connections and reflect on global academic experiences.
