''Suicide Sunday'' is the name used at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]] to refer to the Sunday immediately after the end of the summer term (known as Easter Term). By this Sunday, all students have finished exams but most of the results have not been published, so it is traditionally a period of nerves and suspense. A student-led campaign in 2015 encouraged use of the name "May Week Sunday" instead, though "Suicide Sunday" continues to persist among students and the public.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}}

The name refers to the celebration of the end of exam term, in contrast to Caesarian Sunday on the day before the [[Bank Holiday|early May Bank Holiday]] which is named after the [[Jesus College, Cambridge|Jesus College]] drinking society, the Caesarians.<ref>{{cite web |title=CAESARIAN SHUN-DAY |url=https://thetab.com/uk/cambridge/2013/04/27/caesarian-shunday-20220 |website=thetab.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Inside Cambridge Drinking Societies |url=https://www.varsity.co.uk/news/1223 |website=varsity.co.uk}}</ref> Caesarian Sunday is traditionally a final opportunity for students to get drunk on [[Jesus Green]] before exams begin.

The events are for current students of the University of Cambridge but are frequented by former students that indulge in the student lifestyle.

The Cardboard Boat Race is a main attraction to Suicide Sunday, offering an alternative to the many garden parties and more serious boating. The first race was in 2010, with three boats from [[Magdalene College, Cambridge|Magdalene College]]. In 2011, the race was opened to other colleges.<ref>{{cite web |title=2011 Cardboard Boat Race |url=https://www.facebook.com/events/822698074443954/ |website=Facebook}}</ref>
