Celebrating 20 years of Stephenson and John Snow Colleges
On the 28 April 2022, we were finally able to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Stephenson and John Snow Colleges at a joint Formal dinner. This had been unable to happen in 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions, so we were thrilled to come together in early 2022 as restrictions eased.

Students who have contributed to all areas of College life enjoyed a wonderful three course dinner and fantastic entertainment including Stephenson Choir, DU Gospel Choir and acapella group Full Score. The dinner format merged the best of both Colleges, with ungowned Stephenson students sitting on tables with their gowned John Snow counterparts – we are sure many new friendships were formed that evening!
Guest speakers included Professor Antony Long, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, who oversaw the move from Queen’s Campus to Durham, former Stephenson Principal Professor John Ashworth and current Stephenson Principal Professor Rob Lynes.
Following the dinner, our College band Painted Red played in a battle of the bands with John Snow’s Minus 5 – you’ll be pleased to hear that Painted Red won!
As the current Stephenson JCR President, Charles Lawrence said in his concluding toast, here’s to the next twenty years!
