The pandemic affected lots of people in different ways; for me, it meant that working through the summer vacation of 2020 was no longer an option, as I had to shield in order to protect a vulnerable parent. I was relying on that work to help fund my Medicine degree, and was extremely worried about my finances without it, so I contacted the College to see if they could help. Pembroke’s hardship fund was able to fill in my unexpected shortfall, reducing my stress and letting me get back to learning how to combat this (and any future) medical crisis.

Dyedra gives really good advice on how to tackle issues you have. She's very organised and explains herself clearly and succinctly.

Rob structured the session around my exact concerns, which I thought was super helpful. This was a fantastic service, I wish I had used it earlier.

Hi, I am Xiang Gu, a visiting student from Tsinghua University reading law. I am staying at my home institution in Beijing now.

Due to the time difference, I usually have my tutorials in the evening. Although I cannot visit Pembroke personally, the various online activities fill the gap by allowing me to meet new friends.

@pembrokejcr "A shout out to our incredible librarians who have started to roll out a 'mystery book box' for all our isolating households!!! Laura you are honestly the best!! Thank you so much - Hattie xx"

The role of the library is to ensure that all students have everything they need to successfully complete their courses. As well as providing books and study space, library staff can help with research skills, referencing, and buying books on request as needed. 

It has been a deep privilege and joy to share many conversations with Andrew Teal, and in him I have found a wonderful companion and friend in our more-than-human world. 

I am grateful to the Chaplain, the Revd Dr Andrew Teal for opening the doors of Pembroke chapel to the Oxford Armenian community to celebrate the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
