Student Recognition 2020/21 Each year, the College hosts a Recognition Dinner, when the community gathers in Helwys Hall to recognise the extracurricular achievements of its student members. And for the second year in a row, the annual Recognition was held with a covid-safe twist! With some restrictions still in place for Trinity 2021, students and staff eschewed a formal dinner in Helwys Hall in favour of a buffet reception under the marquees in a sunlit Quad. Outgoing Principal Rob Ellis delivered formal congratulations to students for their contributions to the wider University, and Dean Lynn Robson called for everyone to raise a glass after reading aloud the student achievements for 2020/2021, a particularly impressive list considering lock down. It is hugely rewarding to see Regent’s students excel even beyond the college walls – especially in such a difficult year!
There will have been many other student achievements in the last year besides those listed here, not to mention superb academic accomplishments – it is often, and rightly, said that Regent’s ‘punches above its weight’ in all areas of Oxford life – but this selection was singled-out by the student community for special mention. We are delighted to recognise the achievements of: Maame Agyekum Secretary, OULGBTQ+ Society Marnie Ashbridge President, Oxford Pink Week Charlotte Baxendale Secretary, Oxford University Drama Society; and leading role in University production Caleb Brown Founding Editor, Reviews Section of the Journal of Theological Studies (www.jogts.org)
