Master of Pembroke, Sir Ernest Ryder, was recently commissioned by the Committee on Standards to conduct a review of fairness and natural justice and the House of Commons Standards system. Sir Ernest's proposals and recommendations will inform a final report which will be presented to the House of Commons. 

On 24th March a service of thanksgiving for the life of Professor Robert Stevens was held in the Oxford University Church.

Many congratulations to Pembroke DPhil student in Cyber Security, George Chalhoub, for completing an internship at Microsoft Research, which resulted in a top-tier publication for the CHI22 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Our £14m development of the Sir Geoffrey Arthur Building (GAB) is almost complete with first occupants due to move in in Autumn 2022. To celebrate reaching the milestone of the highest construction point, the GAB Project Team hosted a 'Topping Out Ceremony' with their consultants.

Congratulations our Stipendiary Lecturer in Physics Laurence Wroe (2014, MPhys Physics) who recently won funding from the Public Engagement with Research Seed Fund (PER) to develop a 'Funky-Shaped Drums and Particle Accelerators' workshop for 11-14 year old school students.

A ledger stone inscribed with the name of Sir Roger Bannister, former Master of Pembroke College, was placed in Westminster Abbey last September to honour Sir Roger’s name as a pioneering neurologist and a world champion runner.
