Selwyn will be hosting more big names from the world of academia, politics and media as our popular events programme for students, alumni and friends continues into 2025.

It’s a recent tradition at Selwyn that the college Christmas card is designed by students. There’s a competition open to all JCR and MCR members during the Michaelmas term after which the best entry is chosen, and it then becomes the image for the card that is sent to hundreds of people.

Selwyn’s MCR, our representative body for postgraduate students, has elected a new president. He is Jeffery Pendleton, and he will join the college’s council and governing body in 2025.

The college has formally admitted its newest Fellow Benefactor, John Bamford. The role of Fellow Benefactor was created by Selwyn in 2016 to mark exceptional philanthropy. Mr Bamford has particularly supported our school outreach activities.
