How to make a Bas-Bleu Cocktail/Mocktail (Blue Stocking)

The Bas-Bleu cocktail, invented by Secretary to Council, Dr Caroline Shenton, might well be thought of a ‘Girton in a Glass’. Here Dr. Shenton shows you how to make it and explains why it is so special. There is a mocktail version too!

Sit back, sip your cocktail/mocktail and enjoy the spirit of Girton while viewing the selection of photographs from the July Graduation Ceremonies

 


Portraits

Portrait photographs of some graduands were kindly taken by our Musician in Residence, Jeremy West. If you would like a digital version of your portrait picture to keep, please email the Communications Officer including your full name.


Academic Dress

Graduations at Cambridge University require all those attending in a formal capacity to wear appropriate academical dress. At the July 2021 ceremonies, Girton mostly presented graduands for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with their distinctive white-fur-lined black hoods. We also presented Doctors of Philosophy, as well as Masters of Philosophy, Laws, Engineering, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bachelors of Arts, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and more, each identifiable by the colour and markings of their hood.
