Led in varying measure by enthusiastic undergraduates and graduate students and by Fellows, these serve to foster the interaction and intellectual nourishment of all junior members through informal subject-related activities such as lectures, discussion groups, dinners and attendance at the College’s graduate conferences, as well as encouraging participation in appropriate departmental activities and events. An increasing number of Directors of Studies are able to make use of subject funds in a variety of ways to offer additional support to students for academic-related activities. I reap the rewards of the huge amount of work that goes into the undergraduate admissions process, under the Rosemary Horrox and direction of Admissions Tutors Holly Canuto – who have steered a wise course between the constant often conflicting) challenges of complex (and regulation, intense competition, public scepticism, political

The area that has grown most rapidly has been that of support for the 40% of our junior members who are taking courses.
