A warm welcome to the Wadham community

We are delighted that so many of you have attended our on-line events in recent months. At our most recent 'in conversation' event, Emeritus Fellow and Nobel Prize-winner, Sir Roger Penrose talked with the Warden which was followed by a recorded discussion with Honarary Fellow Melvyn Bragg (History, 1958). You can hear these here.

Copies of the 2020 Wadham Gazette and Donor Report have now landed on doorsteps, bringing you a summary of news from the past year.

Over the course of the pandemic and thanks to your generosity, work on Wadham’s Access to Excellence programme continues to grow in strength. The results are reflected in the increasing diversity in the student community at Wadham and across Oxford.

As work concludes on the William Doo Undergraduate Centre and Dr Lee Shau Kee Buildings we share our latest photos and we look forward to welcoming our generous donors back for a tour of these elegant new buildings as soon as possible. 

At our recent virtual event to alumni and the 1610 Society, Aneeqa Khan (PPE, 2005) and JoJo Sanders (PPE, 1999) shared their experiences on steering a business through the uncertainty of the pandemic.

Recordings from past virtual events can be watched here.

We are especially pleased to be able to share a link, courtesy of Oxford Coffee Concerts, to recent virtual concert recordings held in the Holywell Music Room.
