“We should be able to disagree, for crying out loud!” - and not have to sign up to “a monolithic culture”. Here’s a flavour of Mary Beard speaking to me at Selwyn College Cambridge last night. Watch the full video here:

I really enjoyed accompanying @selwyn1882.bsky.social students Oketa and Cian to London today and lunch at the Tallow Chandlers’ Hall. They’re winners of this year’s Tallow Chandlers awards, and joined other amazing young people from schools and colleges at the celebration.

Very proud of the @selwyn1882.bsky.social students who received their MAs today. This was the generation whose studies were disrupted by the pandemic, and they’re fine young people who deserve this moment of celebration.

A disappointing day of football - for both Fulham and Arsenal - but at least there was a lovely sunset at Hammersmith on the way home.

Congratulations to @suzanneraine.bsky.social on her election as master of Selwyn. It’s the most wonderful job, and I think the fellowship have made a wise choice.

Offers from @selwyn1882.bsky.social have gone out today for undergraduate admissions this autumn. 85.5% of our home offers are to state school students, with the biggest group at comprehensives. In 2024 this kind of mix helped us be the highest-rated Cambridge college for good honours.

Our student callers are doing a great job in the college’s 2024 Telephone Campaign. Thanks to them for their hard work, and to all @selwyn1882.bsky.social alumni and friends who’ve taken part so far.

I’m pleased we’re doing mostly in-person interviews at Selwyn. They’re popular with applicants - they like the human interaction and the chance to look around - and candidates are warmly welcomed by our student volunteers. Good luck to everyone taking part.

The view from the master’s stall during the first @selwyn1882.bsky.social Carol service of this year. Three more to come in Cambridge and one in London with almost 500 people booked in.

A lunchtime with songs from the shows. Selwyn Voices - our community singing group featuring students, fellows and staff - performed in the college hall. A million dreams, indeed. Well done to them on a great choice of music, beautifully sung.

Last of this year’s freshers’ suppers in the Master’s Lodge. I love the conversations even more than the catering team’s excellent chicken curry.

Very pleased that we’ve launched a new partnership between @selwyn1882.bsky.social and the Cambridge United Foundation. There needs to be more support for the city of Cambridge by the university, and this is a good start.
