  • Members of the college 2011 year group returned to Cambridge on Saturday April 7th to take part in an MA graduation ceremony. They processed along the traditional route from Selwyn to the Senate House, where the degrees were conferred by the Master acting as vice-chancellor’s deputy. Our photo shows some of the graduands just before they set out.



  • The college hosted an event in Los Angeles at the end of March, at which Roger Mosey spoke about current issues in News and journalism as they affect Britain, the United States and the wider world. The gathering was a unique collaboration between Selwyn and three organisations: the University of Southern California’s Center on Public Diplomacy; the Los Angeles branch of BAFTA; and Cambridge in America.



  • Many congratulations to our director of music Sarah MacDonald, who has been honoured as an Associate of the Royal School of Church Music. It's an award for achievements in church music and/or liturgy of national significance.

  • The college announces with deep sadness the death of its Fellow, Professor Kenneth Wallace.



    Professor Wallace was a Fellow for 40 years. During that time he won the respect of colleagues and students alike as a gifted engineer, an excellent teacher – and a man of considerable charm, warmth and genuine modesty.  



  • The college is delighted to announce that the distinguished journalist and broadcaster Frank Gardner OBE will give this year’s Ramsay Murray lecture. Mr Gardner is the BBC’s security correspondent, and also a best-selling author. You can read more about his life on his website: http://www.frankgardner.co.uk/.
