Graduation 2014 This afternoon, 108 students from Selwyn processed down West Road to the Senate House to have their degrees conferred upon them. This culmination of many months' and years' academic endeavour was not dampened by the slightly overcast weather in Cambridge and a wonderful day was had by all! On behalf of the Master, and all at Selwyn College, we would like to extend our congratulations to all those who graduated today, and our very best wishes for future success.
May Bumps This year's May Bumps was characterised by brilliant weather for the entirity of the week which provided a fitting backdrop for some very impressive Selwyn rowing performances. Most notable were the M1 and W1 boats, each of which bumped up one position on aggregate, and the W2 boat, which had an extremely successful end to the week, bumping up on 3 consecutive days. M1 is now sandwich boat at the head of the Second Division. Many thanks to everyone who came to cheer on the crews. Full results for the competition can be found here
