Many congratulations to College Lecturer in Engineering, Dr Nicole Miranda, who recently received an award for a new research paper at the 17th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems in Cyprus.

This summer, Pembroke student Joshua Kirkhope-Arkley (European and Middle Eastern Languages, 2020) used the Robert Baldick fund to undertake a work opportunity with a newspaper in Lomé, Togo.

The College’s annual Scholars’ Lecture and Dinner is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our undergraduate students and to formally admit new Scholars and Exhibitioners to their titles.

Pembroke alumna Rona Bar-Isaac (1991, BA Mathematics and Philosophy) is currently co-head of the retail and consumer sector at City law firm Addleshaw Goddard. We asked Rona to tell us about the value of cross-disciplinary degrees and how her studies at Pembroke still influence her work in the City today.

Michaelmas Term brings our annual Long Service Awards, an opportunity to recognise the hard work and commitment of staff who have been with us for ten or more years.

The College is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lady Bannister, a close friend of Pembroke since her eight years in the Master’s Lodgings with her husband Sir Roger Bannister.

We are excited to share that Pembroke alumna, Jasmine Schembri (2020, MBA), is launching her new teen health app ‘luna’, which will be the first health and wellbeing app in the UK dedicated to teens aged 11-17.

We are really excited to introduce Pembroke’s new Music Director, Mark Wilson. Mark has extensive musical experience in both choral and instrumental groups. He currently leads Standish Consort, the alumni choir of the Oxford University Society’s Gloucester branch, as well as singing regularly with different Cathedral choirs.

A new partnership has been formed between Rochdale Development Agency and Pembroke, to provide a programme of academic engagement for the most able pupils across Rochdale, Heywood and Middleton.

The partnership will initially offer a pilot programme of academic enrichment that will support pupils from a range of schools across the Borough to enhance future possibilities for their education and career.
