Each academic year, a University of Cambridge student is nominated to become a member of CUBG’s Syndicate to ensure a wide range of views are represented.
The Botanic Garden Syndicate oversees the strategic direction and operational management of the Botanic Garden. The Syndicate meets four times per year and makes an annual report to the General Board and is chaired by Dame Fiona Reynolds as the Vice Chancellor’s representative. The Director of the Botanic Garden, Professor Beverley Glover, acts as secretary to the Syndicate.
To ensure a wide range of views are represented on the Syndicate we would like to nominate a University of Cambridge student member from October 2026. The student member will likely have some direct involvement with, and understanding of, the Garden through one or more of research, learning or community activity.
Interested students are encouraged to email Beverley Glover (bjg26@cam.ac.uk) with a brief explanation of why they would like to be nominated and a short CV.
The closing date for expressions of interest is midday on Monday 12 October 2026.
