The 2026 Girton College Telephone Campaign will be running from 9 April to 25 April.
During this time, a small team of Girton student callers will be contacting Girtonians across the globe to reconnect and network with alumni. They will be calling to share what life is like at Girton now, as well as to hear your memories of your time here and gather feedback on our alumni engagement initiatives. We hope you enjoy chatting with them!
Please note that everyone that will be called during the Telephone Campaign will receive notice by email or by letter.
Meet the 2026 team

Elena
My name is Elena, and I’ve been fortunate enough to serve as JCR president for the past year which doesn't leave much free time, but when there is, I enjoy climbing, running, hiking and anything outdoorsy really (very in line with my Geography degree and dissertation which involved hiking to the mountains to collect tree cores!).
