Selwyn’s MCR, our representative body for postgraduate students, has elected a new president. He is Jeffery Pendleton, and he will join the college’s council and governing body in 2025.

We asked Jeffery to introduce himself:  

“I am a second-year PhD candidate in Psychology at Selwyn College, originally from the United States (Southern Kentucky).
Previously, I completed a research-based MPhil in Biological Anthropology at Girton College and an Anthropology BA with Arizona State University.
This past year I served as MCR Secretary, and also currently hold the role of Selwyn exchange officer at our sister college Keble in Oxford — where I’m an associate member. 
As MCR President, I aim to draw on my previous experience — both at Cambridge and other institutions — to advocate for the MCR, further enhance the postgraduate student experience, and strengthen ties with our sister college as well as others.”
