Published three times a year in print and online, CAM is a magazine for the 200,000-plus Cambridge alumni around the world.

By just about any metric, it’s Britain’s most successful university magazine. In 2010, it was the first alumni title from outside the United States to win CASE’s Robert Sibley Magazine of the Year, and it has earned regular commendations ever since.
