There was a large turnout for Selwyn's MA degree ceremony on Saturday April 2nd, which was made up mainly of those who arrived at the College to start their undergraduate courses in 2009. The graduands gathered in Old Court on a glorious Spring day and then processed to the Senate House for the awarding of their degrees.

A Selwyn PhD student, Rashmi Becker, has been leading a project to capture photographs of people across the UK with learning disabilities and autism. Rashmi, who was also an undergraduate at the College, is behind a book and exhibition depicting images of people with a learning disability. It challenges negative perceptions by highlighting their everyday moments and their milestones in life – from leaving school to getting married.

The College held a three-minute thesis competition this week. The intention was to provide students with an opportunity to
present about their work (projects or dissertations and not regular supervision essays) briefly and in a convivial
atmosphere. A wide range of students from both the JCR and MCR took part, and our photographs show two of the winners. Rob

A group of five Selwyn first year students made the national final of a competition to develop the power of the internet to solve social and environmental issues. The challenge was issued by Cisco, who wanted students to show how “the internet of everything” – the concept of embedding physical objects (tools, vehicles, buildings) with technology and connecting them to the internet – is becoming a vital part of the modern world.

The College is pleased to announce that Dr Janet O’Sullivan has been elected as Vice-Master to succeed Dr Michael Tilby, who will retire at the end of this academic year.
