Between December 9th and 21st a team of Selwyn students called our alumni and friends for a chat. Discussions between current students and alumni are often cherished by both parties, and we hope that this increases the sense of community at Selwyn. Previous student callers often note that they gained many transferrable skills and received invaluable career advice.
Fundraising is another important aspect of the campaign, and this year we would like to invite you to consider supporting the Ann's Court North project. This is the final phase of Selwyn's transformational development of Ann's Court. The project allows for a creative refurbishment of two historic hostels, brilliantly linking them together with an elegant new entrance pavilion that will also provide informal study/meeting spaces for our students. At a stroke, the buildings do an ‘about face’, abandoning their original entrances on West Road in favour of facing inwards to the court and to the college.
This final phase has a budget of £4M making it by far the least expensive part of the overall scheme. We’ve been fortunate to secure some early donations that will help us to achieve our fundraising target of £2.5M but there is still a considerable way to go — your help is important. Please help us finish the court by participating in this year’s campaign. Click the button below to visit the appeal webpage and make your gift.
If you have any questions about the campaign, or how to donate, please get in touch with us by email on development@sel.cam.ac.uk or call us at 01223 763 937.
Ann’s Court is the most successful development at Selwyn in the past 25 years. Please help us finish.
