Labour’s shadow Health secretary Wes Streeting visited Selwyn on 26 November to talk to students and to carry out research for a book he’s currently writing. He found time to visit the Bartlam library too. Wes is a Selwyn alumnus and a former JCR president, and he was elected to parliament in 2015. In his session with students, he faced questions on current issues ranging from the planned strike by nurses through to reform of the House of Lords.

Selwyn's JCR president for 2023 will be Elina Smith, who was elected by students this week.

Elina is a 2nd year undergraduate reading Theology. She is half Ukrainian and half English, and grew up in Ukraine - but her family home is now in West Sussex.

She is photographed in Independence Square in Kyiv.

Elina will join the Selwyn college council and the governing body in January, and we wish her every success in her new role.

The college has welcomed its new undergraduate and postgraduate students, with a series of introductory events – and the traditional photographs in Old Court.

The photo below of undergraduate freshers was taken on Monday 3 October by Howard Beaumont.

The college will welcome two new Research Fellows this autumn.
