Once a Johnian, always a Johnian

The alumni of St John’s College, Cambridge, known as Johnians, are a global community. The Development Office works with alumni to direct their offers of support to areas of greatest need, while keeping them connected with one another and up-to-date on the latest College developments. Alumna Sam Davies (1993) completed a solo sail around the world following a serious collision during this year’s Vendée Globes race. Read about her experience in Johnian magazine.
