Castle Alumni Overview

Students at Scarfing Ceremony

For almost thirty years, Herstmonceux Castle has welcomed students through its doors to explore, learn and grow as scholars, travellers, activists and individuals.

The Castle's Alumni Network is now spread all around the world. Our current and former students, staff, and faculty come from as far afield as Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, the United States of America, and beyond.

We want to bring this diverse group of people together so that we can benefit from our collective experience and dedication to the vision of the Drs. Alfred and Isabel Bader.

Bader College Alumni are encouraged to join their local branch of Queen’s alumni, wherever they are in the world. Bader College alumni who are part of the London UK Branch have the opportunity to offer support to current students by attending careers nights and returning to the Castle as guest speakers. Being part of the Queen’s alumni community ensures that you will receive information about all alumni events at the Castle.

Ways to connect with us

The Queen's Alumni Network is a globally-connected community of academics, activists, entrepreneurs, and leaders in many fields.
