In 2026, UCL will celebrate its 200th anniversary. Faces of UCL is part of the UCL200 programme, an exciting line-up of activities and events to celebrate our bicentennial.

What is Faces of UCL? 

A powerful grassroots project, Faces of UCL will explore UCL’s ground-breaking history through its people and celebrate the achievements of our huge and diverse community. We are hoping to uncover some of our lesser-known and unsung heroes alongside our better-known luminaries - but to do this, we need your input! 

If you know someone at UCL, past or present, who you think should be celebrated - whether it’s for milestone achievements, their generous service or simply because they’re a friendly face or community-builder - then we’d love to hear from you.

Faces of UCL will feature as a digital campaign throughout the bicentennial year, with a selection of Faces celebrated as part of the UCL200 Exhibition beginning in February 2026.  

How can I get involved? 

Do you know someone who-d make a great Face of UCL? We are looking for 200 people, past and present, to be featured. 

Here’s who we are looking for: 
  • Innovative faculty members who have made, or are making, a real impact 

  • Staff who go (or went) above and beyond, in any capacity. Do you know someone who has provided exceptional support to colleagues or students, or has transformed their department with their ideas and initiative?  

  • Unsung heroes who make (or made) a difference behind the scenes - from all kinds of seniorities, disciplines or job roles 

  • Current and former students - from any era - with amazing stories to tell (such as academic or personal achievements, overcoming significant challenges, or unusual life paths and perspectives) 

  • Accomplished and inspiring alumni who’ve made their mark on the world  

  • And you can nominate yourself!  



Anyone can nominate anyone as long as they belong in one of the above categories - we want to hear from the whole UCL community.   

FIll in this brief form to submit your nomination

You need to submit one form per nomination. Please submit your nominations by Monday 10 March 2025. 

Please note: We are only featuring 200 faces so - although we wish we could - not all nominees will be selected. You do not need to tell your nominee that you have put them forward. 

If your nominated person is shortlisted, we will be in touch with you to confirm by early April.     

A panel representing individuals from across the institution and Students- Union will make the final selection of Faces to be included in the digital campaign and UCL200 Exhibition.
