It is with great sadness that the College records the death of Dr Zbigniew Pełczyński OBE, Emeritus Fellow and former Fellow in Politics. 

Zbigniew will be remembered with great affection by the College community, and many others here in Oxford and around the world.

The MCR have elected a new committee in preparation for the 2021-22 academic year. The hustings for the new committee took place virtually in late May, and the new committee will begin with immediate effect, overseeing MCR Freshers Week and the welcoming of new MCR students in the autumn.
