    Selwyn will be hosting more big names from the world of academia, politics and media as our popular events programme for students, alumni and friends continues into 2025.

    Already confirmed are sessions with the BBC director-general Tim Davie, a college alumnus, who will face questions from an audience in the Quarry Whitehouse auditorium on February 6th (book here).

Later in the year our guest will be the renowned Cambridge academic Dame Mary Beard.

    It’s a recent tradition at Selwyn that the college Christmas card is designed by students. There’s a competition open to all JCR and MCR members during the Michaelmas term after which the best entry is chosen, and it then becomes the image for the card that is sent to hundreds of people.
