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 acts of Remembrance this year include:

There was a large attendance in Selwyn’s Chapel on Sunday for a recital of the poetry of Wilfred Owen, preceded and followed by choral music for Remembrance performed by our choir. The picture below shows Peter Owen, Wilfred’s nephew, who was the College’s guest of honour for the event.

Selwyn’s sports teams have had some early success as their 2014-15 campaigns get underway. The men’s rugby team defeated Robinson College 24-5 this week, and our footballers beat Trinity Hall 1-0. The photograph below shows Selwyn rugby players in action against the College Old Boys earlier in October.

Selwyn musicians took part in a light-hearted rendition of music from “Lord of the Rings” in their first Sunday night event of the new academic year. The College Music Society has decided that its Sunday concerts will be free of charge with immediate effect so that the music can be enjoyed by the widest possible audience.
