The Role of the Senior Common Room

The Senior Common Room exists to contribute to the life, enrichment and development of the College as an all-age community of scholars. This is achived through meeting socially and the sharing of ideas. Our particular aims are:

• supporting student members of the College through their university education by helping to create an appropriate intellectual, pastoral and developmental environment;
• providing an academic forum for members of the College, University and wider community;
• serving as a base for our visiting and honorary fellows, offering to them a genuine collegiate atmosphere of conviviality, intellectual stimulus, networking and recreational opportunities etc.;
• helping to develop links with a range of University Institutes and Departments;
• playing a key role in developing links with the wider community.

A Message from the Master

Grey College Senior Common Room is an integral part of the Grey College Community. The SCR meets regularly a wide variety of social and cultural activities including for formal and informal dinners, family parties, and special lectures on everything from the end of the universe to international financial crises. All of this helps to further the scholarly mission of the College, by giving people in different disciplines and lines of work the opportunity to get together and explore common interests in a friendly setting.
