Events & Activities

The College organises a number of events throughout the year, including Orientation; and a series of formal dinners, including our ever-popular International Dinner, Commencement and Valedictory Dinners and our Christmas in July Celebration. Residents play a major part in organising their own social activities through the Student Club, whose executives are elected by the whole student body. They put together sporting events, excursions and major social events such as the annual College Ball.

Hardly a week goes by during term time without an event of some kind in or around the College, from the Cafe Crawl, through to the River Cruise or the Fringe Fest on the lawn. Regular Student Club meetings ensure that everyone’s voice is heard during the planning stages, and if there’s an event that you want to see organised, then you only have to put your hand up!
