San Francisco, CA: 87th San Francisco Boat Race Dinner

This annual Northern California gathering brings together Oxford and Cambridge alumni, students, academic visitors, and former staff and their guests, for an Oxbridge‑style College Feast, held in the elegant ambience of the University Club of San Francisco.

Elisabeth Kendall, Mistress of Girton College will be the distinguished guest speaker. A leading Arabist and Yemen specialist, she is widely recognized for her work on Arabic cultural production and non‑state armed groups, has extensive field experience in Yemen, and is a frequent contributor to global media. Her honors include an Honorary Fellowship at Pembroke College, Oxford, and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Glasgow.
