The MCR Summer Trip is an annually funded trip for Pembroke College graduate students aimed to bring some fun to the long vacation. This year, our graduate students (or Middle Common Room ‘MCR’ as we refer to them) chose Bournemouth as their destination! They also went to Salisbury on their way.

Congratulations to Professor Alison Light, Senior Research Fellow in History and English, who has been elected as Fellow of the British Academy and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature for her outstanding achievements in humanities and significant contributions to literature.

Huge congratulations to Nicole Sze-Yi Doyle (2018, History and Politics) who has recently excelled in her University final exams, ranking 5th in her cohort! Nicole’s thesis, ‘Seeing Through Their Eyes: Drawings by Hibakusha of the Women and Children of Hiroshima’ has been awarded the Olwen Hufton Prize for best thesis on gender history.

Deborah Cotton (2017, Physics) recently graduated from Pembroke and excelled in her final exams by achieving a first. We caught up with Deborah, who looked back on her time at Pembroke, and discussed her plans for the future.

It is with great sadness that the College has learned of the death of Emeritus Fellow Professor Alan Jones.

We caught up with Kathleen, who shared her experience at Pembroke as well as advice for future applicants considering a degree in Law.

Pembroke College has now released important information to students and staff about what to expect in college this Michaelmas Term. This includes some safety measures still in place to prevent the spread of covid.

It is with great sadness that the College has learned of the death of Emeritus Fellow and former Chaplain Revd Colin Morris.

Pembroke College has recently hosted tours for its 2021 undergraduate freshers. We are delighted that we were able to hold these one-off tours in person for 60 future Pembrokians. All the students in attendance were visiting college for the first time after experiencing Open Days and interviews virtually.
