The former Labour education and home secretary, David Blunkett MP, visited the College on Thursday January 8th. He spoke to students in the Master’s Lodge about his career and current issues, and then had dinner in Hall with some of the Fellows.
This is the latest in a series of visits by high-profile guests from the worlds of politics and the media. Shortly before Christmas, there were similar student events featuring James Naughtie, presenter of the Radio 4 Today programme; and Lord Deben, a Selwyn alumnus, better known as the former environment secretary John Gummer.
