Congratulations to Tom Hollander, who studied English at Selwyn, on being named Best Actor at the Royal Television
Society’s 2015 programme awards. Tom was honoured for his portrayal of Dylan Thomas in the BBC’s "A Poet In New
York". A review of the programme at the time said Tom was "startlingly good" in the role, and we congratulate him now
on his recognition by the television industry.
Selwyn’s high-profile events from this Spring, and earlier, are available to view online.
We began the recent series with the visit by the Swedish foreign minister Tobias Billström on April 16th. Mr Billström, a Selwyn alumnus, explained why Sweden had joined NATO. The video of the session can be viewed here:

Sweden’s foreign minister Tobias Billström gave a talk at Selwyn on April 16th about why his country has joined NATO. He warned that the world is going through a dangerous phase: not just the Russian attack on Ukraine, but also China’s intentions and the current crisis in the Middle East. These changing circumstances were why Sweden decided to relinquish the neutrality that it has held for more than two centuries.
An MA graduation ceremony was held in the university Senate House on Saturday April 6th. Selwyn’s graduands gathered in Old Court on a warm, windy Spring day and then made the journey into the centre of the city via West Bye Lane and King’s College.
