Disclaimer

The Alumni Division of The Northern Society operates as an independent alumni body. It is not affiliated with, governed by, or representative of the University of Cambridge, nor does it act on behalf of the University or any of its constituent colleges.

Communication between the Alumni Division and the wider Northern Society is facilitated through structured liaison with the Extended Committee and the Executive Committee. This bridged communication ensures continuity and alignment while maintaining clear separation between alumni activity and the Society’s student governance.

Participation in the Alumni Division does not confer any formal status within the University of Cambridge, nor does it imply endorsement by the University or its institutions.
