The Alumni and Development Office is the primary contact point for all alumni of the College. The Office organises regular events for alumni, including reunion dinners, drinks receptions, and the annual Old Darwinians’ Garden Party. It publishes The Darwinian, which is mailed to all Old Darwinians across the world. An e-bulletin with news from the College is also sent periodically.
The Darwin College Society was set up in 1987 to encourage Old Darwinians to maintain contact with the College and with each other. Membership of the Society is free and automatic for all former graduate members, former Fellows and members of the Governing Body. The Society is run by a committee of Old Darwinians and Fellows, and assists the College Alumni and Development Office in its work.

The College has a smoke-free policy. Smoking is not permitted in any College buildings, rooms or bedrooms, and only in designated areas of the College grounds.
The College tie, scarf, cuff-links, shield, teddy bears and other items can be purchased from Messrs Ryder & Amies, online here or at their shop at 21 King’s Parade, Cambridge. The DCSA, the Development Office, and the Porters’ Lodge also offer a small selection of similar items for purchase.
The College Photograph is usually taken on a Friday lunchtime in October. Once the date has been decided it will be advertised around the College and in the DCSA What’s Up email newsletter. All members are invited to take part. Copies of the photograph can be purchased from the Bursary.

Like most Cambridge Colleges, Darwin is twinned with a sister College at Oxford, Wolfson, which is also a Graduate College. There is an annual Sports Day held in the Lent term, organised by the DCSA Sports Officer, hosted by Darwin and Wolfson in alternate years. In addition, each College offers hospitality and accommodation to visitors from its sister College.
