Today, 1 October 2025, Suzanne Raine formally becomes Master of Selwyn College, succeeding Roger Mosey, who recently concluded his term. Her election to this office was announced in February 2025.
Suzanne brings to Selwyn a distinguished background in public service and a commitment to inclusive outreach, dialogue, and academic engagement.
“I am honoured to step into this role,” said Suzanne. “Selwyn is a college with warmth, ambition and a proud history of combining excellence with openness. I look forward to meeting everyone, listening, and working together to build on the foundations Roger and those before him have laid.”
Janet O’Sullivan, vice-master, said: “We are delighted to welcome Suzanne as Master. Her exceptional experience and commitment to excellence and inclusivity make her ideally suited to lead Selwyn into its next chapter."
The college offers its gratitude to Roger Mosey, who retired yesterday, 30 September, after 12 years of service, and wishes him well in his new chapter. Roger becomes an emeritus fellow from today and will continue to have a number of roles in the University.
Coverage of the new Master’s formal installation events will follow in due course.
