Selwyn College and Cambridge United Foundation (CUF) have agreed a new partnership between their two organisations to give students the opportunity to participate in Foundation community activities including volunteering and fundraising.

 

Selwyn has been running a busy programme of events through the autumn, at which students, staff, alumni and friends can engage with some of the big issues of the day. In addition to the packed audiences in the Quarry Whitehouse auditorium, events are streamed live and on-demand on YouTube.

Selwyn has made another major step towards greater sustainability across its site. The college has added around 70 solar photovoltaic panels to the existing installation on the roof of Cripps Court, increasing green power generation capacity by 50% and meeting around one third of the annual electricity usage of the building. 

Selwyn welcomed its new graduate and undergraduate students at matriculation ceremonies on October 4th and October 7th respectively.

The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025 was published in September, and it confirms that Selwyn had an excellent year academically.

At the start of September, Selwyn welcomed students to its first bridging course.

Now that the key decisions have been made, here’s what we know about the new undergraduates who will be joining us this autumn.

We welcomed back members of the 1989 and 1999 year groups for a reunion on July 13th.

A Selwyn student has received one of the vice-chancellor’s awards for social impact. The awards, organised by Cambridge Hub and sponsored by the vice-chancellor’s Office, recognise and celebrate achievement in contributing to society.
