The coming year is going to contain some exciting music, as the College is celebrating 40 years of women in Univ, and there will be music by women in all the Chapel services and concerts throughout the year. Please check the College website for more information. Finally, the continued support of The Master and Lady Crewe is greatly appreciated, enabling the variety and breadth of music-making within the College, including the success of both Martlet Voices and The Martlet Ensemble. Your support is also essential to the process of making music in Univ, as without you, the concert-going public, there would be no live music.

As for the wider University, I am delighted to report that after eleven years, the Oxford Thinking Campaign has come to a successful completion, with over £3 billion raised for the Collegiate University. There has already been some analysis on the impact of this philanthropy, and I am sure more will follow. Here at Univ, we can be proud to say that over the life of the campaign 67% of our Old Members and friends donated a combined £61 million to the College. This is wonderful! This just leaves me to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support, and for my warm welcome. If we have yet to meet, fear not, over the coming academic year I plan to see as many Old Members, friends, and staff of the College as my diary will permit, and very much look forward to this. In the meantime, please do get in touch if I, or anyone in the Development Office, can help in any way. My final thank you must go to the donors,

Every meeting with him was a pleasure because he brought new insights and raised new questions. Much more importantly, Finn was a great person: kind, interested in others and passionate about social change.” His extended essay on the role of Costa Rica’s Supreme Court in social policy was awarded a distinction mark. “Ever engaged. Challenging conventional wisdom. Provoking us all to think differently, newly, freshly”, remembered Professor Leigh Payne, who taught him the course on the Sociology of Latin America. “I had the privilege to share many early-morning breakfasts with Finn”, remembered Adriana Unzueta, one of his fellow students at the LAC, “where, over a cup of coffee at Barefoot (his favourite coffee shop in Oxford), we would sit for hours and just talk about life. During all those talks I couldn’t help but develop respect and admiration for him not just because he was a caring friend but also because he was a genuinely kind human-being. He will certainly be missed.” Finn was an excellent citizen of our community – fully participating in all our academic and social events, with his joyful and inspiring personality. He will always have a special place in the memories of us all at the LAC. It is with immense sadness that the Latin American Centre acknowledges his passing. Our thoughts are with his wife, Rebecca, his family and friends.
