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 Selwyn men’s hockey team has reached the final of this year’s Cambridge Cuppers knock-out tournament. It’s a rare achievement for the college to make it this far in the competition.

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/.

In the year that we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the extension of voting rights to some women, here's a portrait of one of the great Selwyn figures involved in the suffrage movement.

Remembering greatness: a plaque was unveiled in Westminster Abbey on February 1st commemorating our former Master Owen Chadwick and his brother Henry.

Selwyn Fellow Dr James Keeler is one of the authors of the latest
edition of a key textbook for student chemists. Atkins' Physical
Chemistry is acknowledged by students and lecturers around the
globe to be the textbook of choice for studying physical chemistry, and
it’s now being published in its 11th edition.

Another new face in the college for 2018: Dr Kirsty McDougall joins us as admissions tutor for the arts and social sciences. She will become part of the team which manages our outreach programmes and selects new undergraduates, working alongside the science admissions tutors Dr Daniel Beauregard and Dr Stuart Eves.

The start of 2018 marks a change in command in Selwyn's gardens. Following the retirement of Paul Gallant, our new head gardener is Andrew Myson - who began work on January 2nd.

Andrew has a lot of Cambridge college experience: he was previously head gardener at Trinity Hall. We welcome him to Selwyn, and wish him every success in his work here.
