o story can be told about this year without acknowledging the ravages of coronavirus. And yet the great virtue of belonging to a community like ours, with such stalwart friends, is that the story we tell is also one of hope.

Our ability to find hope in the hardest situations was evident even before Covid-19. At the start of Hillary Term, we launched a Crowdfunder for our new Somerville Sanctuary Scholarship. Inspired by the prospect of creating fully-funded scholarships for refugees, stateless young people and those escaping dangerously unstable political climates, 44 donors raised over £12,000 for this campaign.

Hope blossomed again at Somerville in the Spring, when our brilliant new Head Gardener, Sophie Walwin, ran the first of her Gardens Live events. The response to Sophie’s gloriously knowledgeable tour of the gardens was so positive that a new Tree Fund was inaugurated the same day, with the beautiful new mulberry pictured below being just one fruit of generous donations from Niels Kröner and Elaine Lever.

Such gifts should always have a place alongside our talk of income and expenditure, funds and dividends. That’s because they are a promise to the future – in this case, embodying the determination of our The appeal was paused in March due to Covid-19, but the community to think support of several alumni and friends enabled us to close sustainably and plan the funding gap and fund five years of living costs.

That is the true power of giving which this year has brought into stark focus.

multinational agribusiness UPL. Signed during our visit to India in December, this five-year relationship will enable the OICSD to fund the research and academic representation that will shape the debate about food security, sustainability and the delivery of a low-carbon future in the Global South. I have talked about hope – but what of the possibilities being unlocked which I mentioned at the start of this piece? The fact is that, as the severity of Covid’s impact became clear, it looked as if the life-changing possibilities of an Oxford education might be erased for a whole generation: equal access to resources; the opportunity to pursue one’s intellectual curiosity; even the basics of mental and physical health seemed for a while in jeopardy.

of benefactors such as Lord Glendonbrook, the Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust continues to play a dynamic role in that process here at Somerville, with three new scholarships awarded this year to some of our most impressive students. One of these, Luca Webb, is profiled on p12 alongside four previous MTST Scholars in a retrospective look at the five years in which these scholarships have been awarded. Another way in which your support is unlocking the possibilities of learning is through the appointment this year of Dr Fay Probert to our inaugural Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship (full story on p10). In this post, Fay will continue the interdisciplinary research for which Hodgkin was so renowned, as well as advocating for greater equality of opportunity in the sciences.

key priority of the college, and your support for its activities has never been more valuable. Another seismic change we have seen in the world of access is the move to virtual open days and, in 2020-21, virtual interviews. While still in their infancy, these online platforms are hugely promising because they are more readily accessible and thus more egalitarian. Somerville was one of the few colleges to offer interactive Virtual Open Days in 2019-20. Across the three days, we welcomed over 1,750 viewers, who asked in excess of 900 questions of our tutors and students. As such, fundraising for expanded AV provision is one of our key strategic goals for coping with the ‘new normal’.

The path to progress in times like these is not easy – but when But then, as so often happens, we Somervillians look to the future, talked to our friends and we found a The question of access will always we can do so with hope.

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT by Sara Kalim

e are always deeply grateful for the philanthropic support we receive from our community and friends – but never more so than amidst the tempestuous conditions of 2020.

Shortly thereafter, we had a magnificent opener to the 140th anniversary year of the establishment of Somerville. Our birthday book, taking us on a journey of the college history through its objects, was launched at a wonderful birthday celebration in October 2019, when our Vice-Chancellor, Prof Louise It is thanks to the strength and Richardson, joined us to hear from steadfast loyalty of the Somerville community of donors that the college eminent and well-loved alumnae including Shirley Williams and Esther has been able to weather the storm Rantzen, as well as readings from of Covid-19 into which we were thrown just over halfway through the Mary Somerville’s letters by actress, academic year. We cannot thank you Lesley Manville. Then there was enough for your unfailing loyalty and the cake!

Another significant milestone for our fundraising efforts was the closing of the campaign to fund our new Dorothy Hodgkin Career Development Fellowship, which so many of you have supported and encouraged. Establishing this new post to support an outstanding woman scientist is all part of

Somerville’s commitment to its tradition of excellence and inclusivity. This was an ambitious appeal and the happy conclusion comes with advent of the inaugural holder of the fellowship, Dr Fay Probert, about whom you can read on p10. We believe Professor Hodgkin would have thoroughly approved and, during a year in which science has never felt more important, it has been an added pleasure to see several Somerville scientists recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, with Professor Susan Scott (Rhodes Visiting Fellow, 1985) taking the Prime Minister’s

Prize for Science, the highest award of its kind in Australia. Then came Covid-19 – and everything changed. Plans were cancelled, gaudies and reunions postponed. It soon became clear that the consequences would be felt by our entire student community, as well as our staff, and that the pandemic would sorely test the financial resilience of College. We took some time to assess the impacts on our students, those who went home and those who couldn’t go home and for whom we remained open throughout the summer. We soon came to learn of the loss of family income that some students were experiencing and the potential for inequality of experience for those who did not have adequate IT provision for the pivot to online learning. Our graduates continue to experience serious delays to their fieldwork and laboratory research, and many will experience significant need for financial support. As ever, in response to these challenges, Somervillians rallied.

At the start of this academic year, we launched the Covid Hardship Fund to mitigate the lasting effects of 2020, and we were bowled over by your response. The members of our Development Board deserve special mention and gratitude here, having unreservedly given up their time to help us though the current challenges and establish a Matched Fund which effectively doubled all donations to the campaign, meaning that we raised an incredible £142k in just 4 weeks. I must also take a moment to pay tribute to all my extraordinary colleagues in the Development and Alumni Relations team. Together, they have gone above and beyond to connect and engage our global family, building on long-standing friendships and associations of many years. Thank you for your generous support, your belief in what is special about Somerville and, as ever, please continue to walk with us on this journey.

TREASURER’S REPORT by Andrew Parker

t will be no surprise to anyone that Covd-19 was the dominant influence on our finances this year. However, careful management has enabled us to maintain a secure financial position. As expected, coronavirus had a dramatic impact on our income in 2019-20. Conference income was £1m lower than expected because Easter and early summer conferences were cancelled. Rental income was down by £0.8m because our students were not in college during Trinity Term and we released them from the obligation to pay rent. Commercial income was also down, as our tenants struggled to survive under the Covid lockdown, and endowment income also suffered. The impact of this reduced income was partially offset by the sharply reduced level of activity from Easter onwards and the government’s furlough scheme. Overall, we were able to reduce our expenditure by c. £0.8m. We also

benefitted from the generosity of our alumni community in the form of unrestricted donations and legacies. All these factors combined to produce an operating deficit of just over £1m. However, we also saw our investments in Oxford University Endowment Management and Newton suffer a capital loss in the year of £6.6m and a downwards adjustment to the value of our commercial retail properties. Overall, net college assets reduced by £8m from £232m down to £224m. Given that in the previous year college net assets grew by just under £7m, the impact of Covid-19 is all too apparent. This level of deficit is typical of a mixed college of our size. There are some smaller colleges with smaller endowments who fared considerably worse than this, and some are having to contemplate significant corrective action, including redundancies.

A taste of things to come Against the grim economic background of Covid-19, the decision to refurbish our kitchen and pantry at a cost of £4m might seem counter-intuitive. However, it has proven to be the right one. The business case for these works was clear some time ago, with the kitchens not having received any major investment since the mid1990s and our catering team often nursing outdated equipment heroically to the conclusion of another Guest Night. The funds we built up over several years for these works were severely impacted by Covid, and we initially thought to postpone our Summer 2020 start. However,

we revised our view once the scale of the downturn became clear, with asset values set to deteriorate further and our negotiating position with contractors significantly improved. The decision paid off: we were able to take £2.2m out of our investments without incurring any capital loss (the balance being funded by a temporary overdraft), while the absence of any conferences over the summer allowed us to make an early start and get ahead of schedule. With a following wind the work should be completed by June 2021.

Sadly, 2020-21 looks set to follow the pattern of 2019-20. Endowment income will continue to fall, reflecting reduced capital values and lower dividends. Our commercial tenants will continue to struggle and will look to us for support. Our conference income will be affected and we will need to fund sharply increased costs for academic pensions as the USS pension fund deficit continues to rise. On the upside, our student numbers have largely held up thus far, reflecting the phenomenal effort of both academic and support staff to meet their needs during this time. Given these projections, we have looked to trim our cloth accordingly without compromising long-term capability or the support we give our students, academics and staff. We expect this to reduce costs by £500k. As such, we anticipate an operating loss, before any further adjustment to the value of our investments, of c. £0.75m. We are fortunate that the growth in our endowment in recent years has given us the financial heft to absorb these losses. We had built up unrestricted reserves of £1.5m, which will broadly cover the 2019-20 loss, but when capital values recover, we will need to dip into our endowment to restore our liquidity and cover the 2020-21 deficit. All of this serves to highlight the incalculable value of our Donors’ support. Your generosity in recent years has enabled us not only to transform the College in times of plenty, but insulate ourselves against the worst of the current shocks. We cannot thank you enough for this – and I hope that when I next write, the world might perhaps have started on the long road back to normality.

GENERATIONS

The Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship

espite trailblazing pioneers and concerted activism, women scientists are still underrepresented in academia and industry. In 2020, however, our new Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship will add another voice to those advocating for innovation and opportunity.

It is a sad fact that, today, women represent only 30% of researchers globally, a little over 10% of senior research roles in Europe and just 3% of Nobel Prize recipients. At a time when we’re struggling to overcome multiple existential threats from coronavirus to climate change, such inequality is not only unjust, but abysmally wasteful of the talent which is out there. Fortunately, Somerville’s long tradition of equality will seek to challenge that state of affairs through our new Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship. The Fellowship embodies our admiration not only for Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin’s intellectual brilliance – she is the only British woman ever to have been awarded a Nobel Prize in science – but also the way in which she unerringly embodied Somerville’s ethos of creating new opportunities and pathways for women.

Somerville witnessed Dorothy Hodgkin’s brilliance at firsthand throughout her career. We supported and nurtured her studies as an undergraduate, funded a final year at Cambridge and created a new position for her back at Somerville. For many years, while she continued the work in x-ray crystallography that would win her the Nobel, her Fellowship at Somerville was her only salaried position. Dorothy Hodgkin was also the first woman at Oxford to receive any form of maternity pay, and she went on to fight for similar support for women in her lab. Hodgkin saw a clear need for childcare within the College, and gave part of her Nobel Prize winnings to help set up the Somerville Nursery. Today, we remain one of only a handful of colleges to offer this provision. Inspired by Dorothy Hodgkin, Somerville chose to mark the 50th anniversary of her Nobel win in 2014 by establishing a scholarship to support women in science – and accompanying it with an ambitious crowdfunding campaign. The idea was met with rousing support from our wonderful alumni, who helped us raise £382,000 in support of a five-year Dorothy Hodgkin Career Development Fellowship for an outstanding early-career research scientist.

We are thrilled to announce, therefore, that Dr Fay Probert will be the inaugural Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow for the year 2020-21. Like Hodgkin, Dr Probert’s research is fundamentally interdisciplinary. She started out studying Maths at Warwick, but followed this with an MSc in Mathematical Biology and Biophysical Chemistry then a PhD in Analytical Chemical Biology. Today, she uses a combination of analytical chemistry, mathematics, and biology to understand how chemical pathways in the body are perturbed by disease. Fay’s particular interest is in understanding the chemical processes that are associated with inflammation in the brain, with the aim of developing novel diagnostic tests and improving the treatment of autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis. ‘My hope is that, in the not-too-distant future, I will be able to generate and interpret a more detailed map of an individual’s metabolic processes to enable personalised medicine and better management of autoimmune disease,’ says Fay.

Fay is also an innovator, pushing back boundaries at the intersection of tech and science. She joined Somerville as a JRF in 2018, and is now developing a new app with fellow Somervillians Abi Yates and Tianrong Yeo that will allow clinicians and patients with rare autoimmune diseases to manage those conditions. Of her appointment, Fay commented that: “I am extremely honoured to have been awarded a Fellowship named after Dorothy Hodgkin, especially because this represents a unique opportunity to develop my own independent group within the supportive environment of the Chemistry Department. Such fellowships are extremely rare, yet play an essential support role for researchers who require flexible working hours, whether due to caring responsibilities or illness. “I was particularly attracted to this opportunity both because of its emphasis on interdisciplinary research and its close ties with Somerville, where I already have many collaborators and friends. I am extremely proud to be a member of the Somerville family and look forward to continuing to contribute

to the intellectual environment in the College and taking part in outreach activities, particularly encouraging women in STEM.” Somerville is delighted to honour Dorothy Hodgkin’s legacy by welcoming Fay to this exciting role, and we remain deeply grateful to all those whose support made this Scholarship a reality.

We were delighted to support this initiative, which will support early career innovators in a fitting tribute both to Dorothy Hodgkin’s pioneering methods to identify the structures of molecules and her support for scientists who face barriers in pursuing their research.

Promoting the Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship

FIVE STORIES FROM THE MTST by Jessica Mannix

he Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust was established in 2013 to offer students who excel against all odds scholarship opportunities to shape this world for the better. In 2016, thanks to the extraordinary support of our donors, we welcomed our first generation of scholars. Now, as the MTST enters its fifth year, we take a moment to look back on five stories that embody this remarkable programme.

A voice where it matters Among the first postgraduate Thatcher Scholars, Sean Butler gained his Bachelor of Civil Law from Somerville in 2017. On graduating, Sean took up a summer fellowship at the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law, where he co-authored an analysis of the EU Withdrawal Agreement which has since been used as a basis for questions to the Government. Sean next spent a year as judicial assistant to the Master of the Rolls in the Court of Appeal, where he worked on high-profile cases such as Campaign Against Arms Trade v Secretary of State for International Trade. In the past year, Sean taught contract law at UCL while doing his Bar Professional Training Course under a Wilfred Watson Scholarship. He is now undertaking a pupillage at Blackstone Chambers. “The financial security provided by the MTST let me pursue opportunities that would have been impossible had I needed to work alongside my studies.”

An advocate for the natural world Anna Gee graduated in 2020 with first-class honours in all three years of her Biological Sciences degree. Thanks to the support of the Thatcher Scholarship, Anna was also able to work with organisations promoting sustainability and the environment, such as Echo Bonaire, an NGO working to save the endangered Yellow-Shouldered Amazon Parrot. Passionate about the role of plant science in reversing biodiversity decline, Anna is now building a career at the research-implementation interface of conservation biology, starting shortly with an internship at a marine conservation charity in Indonesia. “I’m incredibly grateful for the Thatcher Scholarship and feel privileged to be a part of a community that contains such interesting, intelligent people!”

A compassion against all odds Malak Al-Shaikhali became a doctor in Gaza in 2016, in spite of rolling blackouts, movement restrictions and security fears. Shortly after, she met a group of Oxford University doctors while volunteering with the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, who encouraged her to consider Oxford. She duly won a scholarship to Somerville as an Oxford Qatar Scholar – but her journey wasn’t over. Denied permission to travel through Israel, Malak had to cross the Sinai Desert by car, a journey which took 4 days through innumerable military checkpoints and terrorist strongholds. Not long after, Malak finally began her MSc in Immunology. With it, she

will specialise in Gaza’s highly under-represented field of oncology, meaning that once again this exceptional scholar will be making all the difference. “Arriving at Somerville felt like a miracle. Without the generosity of the Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust and Qatar Fund for Development, there is absolutely no way I could have found this wonderful community.”

A historian changing the future Second year historian Luca Webb, who this year received the Michael Bishop Foundation Thatcher Scholarship, is the embodiment of a Thatcher scholar. He is not only academically brilliant, being in the top 10% of historians in the University, but also passionately committed to social justice. In his role as president of Schools Plus Oxford, Luca helps place Oxford students as volunteer tutors in economically disadvantaged schools. Drawing inspiration from the Development Programme run by Thatcher Scholarship Programme Director, Dr Claire Cockcroft, Luca also launched a new Schools Plus project this summer to create a free online textbook for GCSE English.

A sustainable entrepreneur In addition to its scholars, the Thatcher Scholarship Programme benefits all Somervillians through the Thatcher Development Awards. Gideon Laux (2017, MSc Economics for Development) received a £2,000 Development Award in 2018 to support his project to bring electricity to remote communities. Travelling to India that summer, Gideon implemented sustainable energy solutions in six villages, including solar-powered charging, rechargeable LED lamps and other energy-enabled devices that villagers could rent. Full capacity was soon reached, with initial results showing kerosene usage down by 70% while brighter LED lamps enabled students to study longer and the women who earned extra income making leaf-plates to double their output. Gideon’s business received angel investment soon after and Gideon is now working full-time on his company’s expansion.

“To leave university debt-free will not only make further study a possibility, it will also give me the independence to choose jobs based on their capacity to effect change.” Gideon Laux and Empower Energy pitching at the United Nation’s headquarters as finalists of the 2018 Hult Prize.

PARTNERS FOR A CHANGING PLANET

The UPL Sustainability Fund

new Sustainability Fund has been launched this year between global agribusiness UPL and the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development, supported by Somerville College.

The partnership was agreed in December 2019 at a meeting in Mumbai between our Principal Jan Royall and Sandra Shroff, UPL’s then-Vice Chairman. The new Fund will support groundbreaking research at Somerville into climate change, food and water security, clean energy, healthcare innovation, sustainable cities and environmental sustainability. As part of this new collaboration, UPL and the OICSD will co-host the OpenAg Symposium, a series of annual conferences on sustainable agriculture and the future of food in a changing climate. The conferences will examine the opportunities and challenges for industry and business innovation in transforming food systems and promoting sustainable agricultural practices on a warming planet.

The initiative will create an open network for agriculture, activating connections across the world’s agriculture system. It aims to power new levels of sustainable growth – for farmers, for producers, for customers, for partners, and for communities everywhere. The first conference is expected to be held in June 2021, subject to Covid-19. “We are proud to contribute to the excellent work of the OICSD,” said Mr Jai Shroff, UPL’s Global CEO. “Now more than ever, world agriculture and farmers themselves are directly affected by climate change, food and water security and environmental sustainability. Our future relies on the expertise of the next generation of leaders in sustainable development, many of whom will begin their research and careers at the OICSD.” “We are very proud to establish this relationship with UPL,” added Jan Royall, Somerville’s Principal.

“The OICSD is committed to collaborating with the most progressive leaders in sustainable development. UPL’s backing will enhance the work of the OICSD, enabling us to fund essential research and tackle some of the biggest environmental and social questions facing the world.“ Subscribe to the OICSD mailing list for updates on the OpenAg conferences and our wider research activities by writing to oicsd@some.ox.ac.uk.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF

MARWA BIALA D

r Marwa Biala (2020, MSc Radiation Biology) is Somerville’s inaugural Sanctuary Scholar for 2020-21. Formerly a radiologist at Tripoli University Hospital, she is currently studying from her home in Tripoli, with plans to travel to Somerville as soon as circumstances permit. I usually wake at around 8:30. I put the kettle on for my first cup of tea and drink a glass of water while looking out of the window. I am currently in Tripoli-Libya, where the British embassy’s services have been suspended due to the civil war. I use this quiet time to think about the academic work I must do that day, as well as what news the day might bring regarding my plans to get a visa. At 9am, I log on for my first lecture. I’m currently studying towards the one year Radiation Biology MSc. At the moment, I am able to work from home, because the power is quite good right now. This is not always true – when I started my course back in October, we had blackouts up to 16 hours a day. The only way I could attend my lectures and tutorials was by going to a special centre for students and doctors, where there is a generator so we can study in a quiet environment with internet access.

Most days, I work solidly until midday. At midday, I take a break for lunch, which I eat with my family. There are six of us at home: my mother and father, my sister and my two brothers. If the weather is warm, we’ll eat something simple like couscous with green salad. In winter,

There have been rumours that the border will open again soon, which means I could travel to Tunisia for a visa. If that doesn’t happen, I will have to travel to Turkey in December and apply there. After lunch, I do more work. Sometimes while I work I find it difficult to believe that I am really studying at Oxford – even working remotely like this, the whole thing feels like a dream.

I remember when I applied, I kept thinking, who am I to apply for Oxford and why would they ever accept me? It’s so prestigious and they have all these highly-qualified students we have food that will warm us like the traditional pasta with lamb called from much better universities, while I’m from a developing country with rishta. an ongoing civil war and limited Often while I eat, I check the news on facilities. my phone.

I felt welcomed and included at Somerville from the moment I arrived in 1966. It’s been wonderful to see the alumni community blossom in the years since, across everything from gaudies to reunions, literary lunches, the London and professional groups, carol concerts and commemoration services. You soon realise that whatever you attend or tune in for, you will always be met with a warm welcome and that there is always someone interesting to meet and talk with.

Securing the future:

Reaching out through song:

I have always been drawn to Somerville’s library, which has its origins as a space for women to study when they had no access to the Bodleian. I wanted to help conserve and expand the John Stuart Mill Collection, in a project to ensure this fascinating and unique resource will be available to all in perpetuity. It seems fitting to me that Somerville should hold this invaluable archive; when John Stuart Mill led a second mass petition to Parliament to give women the right to vote in 1868, he asked Mary Somerville to be the first signatory.

Alumni have a crucial role to play in helping the college to respond to the challenges – and opportunities – of our unpredictable times, and the pandemic has made this even clearer. The Covid-19 hardship crowdfunding campaign was one way we could help immediately, pitching in what we could spare and supporting those students who have been affected so much by the pandemic.

Under the direction of the brilliant Will Dawes, Somerville choir travelled to India in 2018. There they performed to enthusiastic praise at the National Centre for Performing Arts and Mehboob studios, but also joined with local charities Songbound and Karta Initiative to share the joy of music with children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Back in Oxford, the choir is one of the leading performers of music by women composers among college choirs in the University. I applaud what Will is doing with this talented, inclusive and forward-thinking group, and am delighted to support them.

Safeguarding a radical heritage:

Come as you are:

My relationship with Somerville has never been about fundraising – it’s been about community and supporting each other. Whether you give money, time, kind words, or simply spend happy hours in excellent company, there are many valuable ways to contribute.

LISTENING TO

THE FOREST

An Interview with Aavika Dhanda

he Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development’s Mary De Zouche scholar, Aavika Dhanda (2019, DPhil Zoology) studies how changes in land-use affect populations of birds in northeast India’s remote forests.

It started with a song My interest in studying birds began many years ago, visiting the green gardens of Teen Murti Bhavan in New Delhi and watching a Bluethroated Barbet calling and vibrating its blue throat so beautifully. Almost immediately, my friend began to imitate its call (the first instinct of any avian biologists on hearing a new call). I said to myself, “Wow, I want to do that!” – and before I knew it I was writing a Master’s thesis on the bio-acoustics of myna birds. Dr Erach Bharucha (Director of the BVIEER in Pune where I studied) also nurtured my love of birds. We could speak for hours on mynas, owls, flamingos, and imitate their calls. Lessons from the forest My current work started in October 2017 when I joined Dr Rajkamal Goswami as an assistant in the tropical forests of the Jaintia Hills in the state of Meghalaya, Northeast India. I studied birds in the apex

forests of Narpuh Wildlife Sanctuary, which was previously a Reserve Forest. ‘Narpuh’ means ‘where light cannot penetrate’ in Pnar, the language of the dominant tribe of Jaintia. It’s a perfect description of the dense foliage and multiple canopies of the forest there. It was here that I started to appreciate the connection indigenous tribes share with nature. I worked alongside tribal communities in North-eastern India again in my

We know so little about most of the species in this global biodiversity hotspot next project, interviewing villagers to learn more about their culture. It taught me how ignorant we’ve been in learning about tribal community systems, languages and customs. And I couldn’t help but notice that we know so little about most of the species in this global biodiversity hotspot, or the threats they are facing. Challenging the narrative While studying for my MSc, it was not uncommon to hear the view that ‘wildlife research is not for women’ – despite the fact that female conservationists already work alone in

many of India’s toughest regions. The experience of being a woman field researcher is all too often one of not being taken seriously by men in villages who have never seen a female researcher from a big city before. I often field questions like “Why have you come all alone?” or “Why is your supervisor hiring females to go to the forests?” Such incidents are innumerable, but usually those responsible come around and, by the time I leave, ask if I will visit again. A new chapter Arriving in Oxford, it took at least a term to adjust to everything: the weather, people, culture, food. The differences have mainly been really positive, though. My lab meetings are a place where everyone is heard and all ideas are taken seriously. No one here would want to categorise anyone’s ability based on gender; there have been no attempts to assign me a male researcher for ‘safety’ when planning field work. There are challenges, but there is always help on offer and I never feel like I am stuck or alone.

OXFORD BLUES AND

RUNNING SHOES: Somerville’s Sport & Wellbeing Fund by Niamh Walshe

rom rowing in the Boat Race to rugby at Twickenham, Oxford sport is famous around the world. Now a new Sport and Wellbeing Fund at Somerville will extend the benefits of sports and wellbeing to more staff and students than ever, writes Niamh Walshe (2015, English and Italian). Whether students participate at the highest levels of international competition, chase glory in Blues

and Cuppers or seek a little light relief from the stresses of term, sport plays an integral role in the University experience of many, providing fond memories and friendship for life. Of course, exercise and getting outside are also fundamental ways in which many of us look after our wellbeing, even if organised sport doesn’t appeal.

across year groups and subjects – as well as spirited inter-collegiate competition! Recent highlights here include the highly anticipated formation of a Somerville-Corpus women’s rugby team and Cuppers success in swimming, netball, and the “Corpusville” men’s rugby team. The unavoidable conclusion is that giving students access to sport not only enhances their enjoyment of College life, but also helps build vital attributes such as resilience, teamwork and grit – all of which will help students succeed in their academic work and life after Somerville.

Somerville is no stranger to sporting excellence and continues to produce student-athletes who excel both on and off the pitch. Recent graduates and current Somervillians have represented the University in sports as diverse as lacrosse, rowing, powerlifting, fencing, tennis, and judo. Inspired by her own experience of Oxford sport (see inset, below), alumna Judith Buttigieg (Physics, To compete, these athletes manage 1989) has supported the creation of the time pressures of training a new Sport and Wellbeing Fund. alongside academic commitments Created in part to assist students with and the financial cost of high-level the costs of competing at a high level sporting participation; kit, coaching in specialist sports, it is also intended and club membership do not come to extend access for the many to the cheaply, not to mention the cost of general benefits of sport and active competition entry, travel and physio. wellbeing. For some, there may even be the additional cost of the coveted Blues blazer, should the season go their way! The first awards were distributed just before the March lockdown, assisting athletes in a variety of disciplines Alongside its teams, Somerville is from trampolining to powerlifting, also home to a number of sports amateur boxing to Blues swimming. societies that foster friendships

But then Covid-19 struck – and the Sports and Wellbeing Fund took on a significance and value that no one had predicted. Thanks to the Sports and Wellbeing Fund, College was able to offer community wellbeing activities on a scale that would have been impossible before, just when we needed it most. Our staff, many of whom worked flatout through the summer to deliver online teaching or keep the college

site open for students unable to return home, were able to join online Pilates classes, buy home workout gear, even purchase equipment for their allotments. In this its first year, a total of 16 students and 11 members of staff were able to benefit from this initiative to keep us all fit and active. In 2020-21, we are confident the numbers will be even higher.

At a time when our community’s need for physical and emotional wellbeing has never been greater, we are immensely grateful to Judith Buttigieg for bringing us such an original and highly flexible solution to our wellbeing needs. The Development Team welcomes enquiries from sporting friends who might be interested in supporting this innovative new Fund. Please contact sara.kalim@some.ox.ac.uk

The Lifelong Benefits of Somerville Sport Judith Buttigieg (Physics, 1989) is the CEO of Aviva International Insurance Ltd., a Trustee Director of the RAC Pension Scheme, Chair of the Somerville City Group and a member of the Somerville Development Board. Here she recalls the role sport played in her time at Somerville and beyond. “I have always enjoyed sports and fitness and am a great believer in the physical and mental benefits of exercise. During my education, sport always went hand in hand with my academic studies and this has continued into my working life, being hugely energising, motivating and keeping me sane, too! I have many fond and memorable recollections of my sporting “life” at Oxford – from long, balmy summer evenings bowling in the University Parks’ nets to dark, freezing early mornings on the Cherwell, before a hasty dash back to College and lectures. I am delighted to support this Fund to enhance the sports and wellbeing activities of the Somerville community.”

OUTREACH IN

UNREAL TIMES by Hannah Pack

The College’s outreach programme had to change utterly and at speed when the pandemic struck, writes Somerville’s Access and Outreach Officer.

he best way to help a young person see themselves studying at Oxford is to get them here. That’s why, in a normal year, we welcome hundreds of pupils on visits, tours, residentials, our annual Demystifying Oxford Interviews day, and, of course, our open days. But as the chorus of news around the virus began to crescendo, my colleague Nuala – our Access and Outreach Support Officer and a Somerville alumna – and I saw that our access provision needed to adapt rapidly. Fortunately, we were able to get a head start moving into the online world thanks to The Access Platform. A significant investment in Hilary Term, this platform gives prospective applicants a way to chat to our students about any questions or concerns in a safe and moderated forum. Combined with our access website apply.some.ox.ac.uk, which

launched in 2019, our recent investment in our digital offering put us in a good position to begin the work of post-virus outreach. The new normal brought opportunities as well as challenges. We soon found ourselves busier than ever, conducting virtual visits with ten schools in Trinity and another ten this Michaelmas, many of whom were new contacts. We also joined the new Oxford for South East Consortia to boost the University’s outreach efforts in the region, started an access Twitter account and YouTube channel, took part in university-wide interview workshops for disadvantaged applicants and made new videos and digital resources covering welfare and student life. Another innovation was our livestream open days on 1-2nd July and 18th September. Attended by over 1,750 viewers who asked more than 900 questions of our Tutors

and student ambassadors (two of whom join us here), our live Q&As proved such a hit with students and school communities that the central

Tutors and student ambassadors gave presentations and answered hundreds of questions live from their living rooms. University encouraged other colleges and departments to follow our lead. As the new academic year began, our focus shifted to interviews, which are taking place entirely online for the first time this year. Luckily, we’re well used to sailing uncharted seas by now. With the amazing assistance we receive from the college community, I know that we will keep on finding ways to bring Somerville’s principles of inclusion and aspiration to life.

My sister Abbie and I come from a low-income, single parent family and went to a North Wales state school, so Oxford was definitely not the obvious option for us. We probably would have never even applied without visiting for access events – they showed us that Oxford students were so normal and not all Einsteins! We wanted to make sure that more people like us would realise that Oxford might be for them, so last February we set up an Instagram account where we would share our experiences. When just weeks later the pandemic made visiting Oxford for outreach events impossible, we realised that we were in a unique position to help.

Abbie and I are going to keep growing the blog, because we both know we wouldn’t be here without access and outreach initiatives, and we want to share that opportunity with others. I’m very proud to be part of a College and University which also believe passionately in access.

We started by creating a new blog in lockdown to provide more detailed advice to complement our Instagram posts. Since then, we have been collaborating as Sisters@Oxford with access social media from multiple colleges, and the account has grown to over 1,000 followers. Our work has also led to collaborations with Oxford SU’s Target Schools committee and the new ‘Oxford from the Inside’ podcast – as well as so many supportive messages reinforcing the importance of what we’re doing.

Cara Moran, JCR Access Officer (2018, English) We started talking about setting up Somerville Access Instagram pretty much as soon as the new arrangements for Trinity term were announced. I wanted to focus on what we could do, rather than all the plans that had been put on hold. After completing virtual Trinity, things started to move faster and by August the Somerville Instagram had made its first post welcoming our freshers. I moved from there to sharing application advice and then just recently we’ve been giving top tips for interviews. I love how access has different stages through the year like this, it’s very dynamic. From day one, everyone has been

really supportive. Trina Banerjee (2018, Music) has been particularly amazing. She came forward immediately to help, providing both a great counterpoint to my own experiences and our lovely graphics (we sometimes get messages complimenting her aesthetic from prospective applicants, which really make our day). And while the cancellation of in-person events has been difficult, it’s also put things on fast forward and brought new ideas to the fore. In addition to the Instagram and our online open days, the new Access Platform became a really important channel of communication.

It allows people to ask questions to us directly and we can message message back in a way that still feels very personal and connected.

ANNUAL FUND by Heather Weightman

he Somerville Annual Fund always plays a vital role in helping College address its immediate funding needs – but this year it did more than ever, supporting our entire community as we navigated the challenges of Covid-19. The year began happily enough, in a hubbub of conversation as our student callers caught up with alumni and friends about what they had been doing since graduation. Through such conversations, our annual Telethon raised more than £263,000 in cash and pledges, inclusive of a generous Matched Fund worth c.£50,000. Then, just before lockdown, we launched a crowdfunding appeal to support our new Somerville Sanctuary Scholarship. Honouring Somerville’s promise to include the excluded, this project will offer fully-funded scholarships to young people who have the potential to excel at Oxford yet have been forced to migrate from their home country or live in a dangerously unstable political climate. The campaign raised over £12,000

from 44 donors, inclusive of a matched Funding from alumna Libby Ancrum (PPE, 1978) and her husband David Skinner. Of their donation, Libby and David said, “We were delighted to have this opportunity to support education at the highest level for individuals from a refugee background, particularly following our recent work in Bangladesh, where David served as Team Leader for Save the Children’s Rohingya response and we sought to protect the right to education for refugee children.” The appeal was paused in March due to Covid-19, but the amazing generosity of several more friends enabled us to close the funding gap and fund five years of living costs. As a result, our first Sanctuary Scholarship student, Marwa Biala (2020, Radiation Biology), joins us

this year – you can read her story on p16. Yet it was after College closed its doors in March that the Annual Fund showed its true potential. Directed towards the area of greatest need, it provided support to students facing hardship, financed essential IT equipment to ensure equality of online learning and accommodated 50 students who could not return home throughout Trinity and in some cases the entire summer. The support of our donors made this possible. Now, inspired by your example, we have established a dedicated Covid Hardship Fund to support members of College impacted by the pandemic. As ever, your belief that all students should be able to make the most of their time at Somerville lights the way.

A legacy of kindness

GILLIAN FALCONER Over the years, Gillian’s wise investing proved fruitful. She was always generous to her friends and the many charities close to her heart, offering both her time as a volunteer and her ongoing support. She served as an Honorary Vice President of the St Andrew’s Trust and helped manage the local National Trust shop, alongside many other volunteering commitments.

Gillian Falconer was a fiercely independent woman, known throughout her life for her generous spirit, flamboyant wardrobe and sense Gillian loved the College’s project to digitise the work and correspondence of fun. of Mary Somerville, and was hugely supportive of the Library’s efforts.

She recalled how, as a young girl, she suggested the family solicitor should invest some of the family’s money in Marks & Spencer.

She later received an apology, as the solicitor had stopped by a Marks & Spencer on the way home from work and now happily held shares in the company.

She honoured her lifelong connection to Somerville by including the College as a beneficiary of a residuary legacy, trusting us to direct her generous gift to the area of greatest need. She couldn’t have known how much the world would transform in such a short space of time, nor how grateful the College would be for her support as we navigate these uncertain financial conditions. We look forward to mounting a plaque in the Library as a lasting tribute to Gillian, her love of giving, and her legacy – a final act of kindness that will benefit many.
