The Selwyn College Choir completed five Carol Services in less than a week during its busiest period in December: two in Cambridge, two in London and one in Bury St Edmunds.
Our first photograph shows the service in the College Chapel, after the lights had been dimmed and the candles lit for the final Carol “Hark The Herald Angels Sing”.
Selwyn College is pleased to announce that it will be offering six Graduate studentships with effect from the next academic year. They will be:
The refurbished Cripps Court was officially opened on Wednesday December 3rd by Robert Cripps, whose family’s Cripps Foundation was the major benefactor for the original building in the 1960s and for its refurbishment in the past two years. Mr Cripps unveiled a plaque on the wall of Cripps Court commemorating the re-opening.
Photographs, painting and crafts were on display in the Chadwick Room under the banner of “Selwyn’s Got Talent”. This was an initiative by the Staff Social Committee to find our artistically-gifted Fellows, students and staff, and to display their work.
The winner in the photography competition was this image by Hannah Doyle, who is studying for an MPhil in English at Selwyn.
Selwyn College is deeply saddened by the death today of Professor William Brock at the age of 98. Born in May 1916, he became a Fellow of the College in 1947 – and remained a much-respected part of College life for the next 67 years. We express our condolences to Professor Brock’s family and friends, and to all who knew him at Selwyn during his long and greatly-distinguished career.
Women in German Studies (WIGS) is an annual meeting and acts as a professional network to support female Germanists throughout their careers. The WIGS conference was held at Selwyn this year, and hosted by the College’s Fellow in German, Dr Charlotte Woodford.

Selwyn’s high-profile events from this Spring, and earlier, are available to view online.
We began the recent series with the visit by the Swedish foreign minister Tobias Billström on April 16th. Mr Billström, a Selwyn alumnus, explained why Sweden had joined NATO. The video of the session can be viewed here:
Sweden’s foreign minister Tobias Billström gave a talk at Selwyn on April 16th about why his country has joined NATO. He warned that the world is going through a dangerous phase: not just the Russian attack on Ukraine, but also China’s intentions and the current crisis in the Middle East. These changing circumstances were why Sweden decided to relinquish the neutrality that it has held for more than two centuries.
An MA graduation ceremony was held in the university Senate House on Saturday April 6th. Selwyn’s graduands gathered in Old Court on a warm, windy Spring day and then made the journey into the centre of the city via West Bye Lane and King’s College.
