Taking breaks has been crucial this term in helping our students recharge during exam season, and a wide variety of events have been on offer.

Our Wellbeing team has hosted everything from animal visits (spot the llamas!) to weekly study sessions for quiet, focused work. ✍

Our Tutorial, Library and Buttery teams have been running tea, coffee and snack breaks in the Dining Hall and on the River Terrace (when it's not been thundering!) to help our students reconnect. ☕

And of course, our Porters have a bowl of sweets on hand to wish everyone good luck! 🍬

Explore animals, poetry, and culture in this cross-cultural display "Wings and Whiskers" curated by Zhenyu Xu at Trinity Hall Library.

With the changeable weather, one thing is certain: our gardens continue to brighten our days, come rain or shine.

In the spring edition of our Garden Diary, Gardener Oliver Neale reflects on how the gardens and College spaces connect generations at Trinity Hall.

"At its core, the brain is made of individual cells that make decisions."🧬

What happens when those decisions go wrong?

Professor Valeriya Malysheva and her team bring together maths, computation and biology to explore how brain cells make both healthy and harmful decisions.

By modelling how brain cells respond to signals, her work is uncovering the hidden rules that drive neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, opening up new possibilities for treatments and early diagnosis.

What a pleasure it was to bring members of the Trinity Hall community together in Portsmouth this weekend, welcoming alumni and their guests for a memorable evening aboard HMS Warrior.

Set on one of the most remarkable ships of the 19th century, the evening combined history with a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that gave guests the chance to tour the ship before gathering for a drinks reception and dinner on board.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the Trinity Hall Association for organising the event. It was a great reminder of how strong the Trinity Hall community is, wherever it gathers.

Were you with us in Portsmouth or have you met up with fellow Trinity Hall alumni elsewhere? We'd love to see your photos - share them with us in the comments.

Fancy learning something new this weekend?

Listen to Clare Jackson, Honorary Professor of Early Modern History and Trinity Hall Fellow, on BBC Radio 4’s 'In Our Time' exploring the Levellers – pioneering campaigners who pushed for social equality and religious tolerance during the 17th century.

Though the Leveller movement itself may have been short-lived, the arguments that they made have both inspired and challenged generations since.

Listen to the BBC Radio 4 episode online through the link below. 👇

In Our Time - The Levellers - BBC Sounds The political movement during the English Civil War committed to a new idea of equality.

Say hello to our new graduates! 🎉

Congratulations to all our postgraduates who were awarded their degrees today.

We can safely say that graduations are some of our most treasured days, and we're so proud of all our students.

From master's degrees in machine learning to PhDs helping to develop COVID-19 vaccines, it's been an honour to celebrate our students' hard work and determination!

We can't wait to see what they get up to next.

The descendants of Robert King, former Master of Trinity Hall, visited the College from Idaho to see his memorial.

King’s association as a Fellow and Master of the College coincided with a period of political turmoil, which ‘interrupted’ his election as Master, a position he held in 1645 and then, following the turmoil, again from 1660-1676.

The black memorial slab commemorating King is situated prominently in the centre of the College Chapel. Chris King (pictured in the white shirt with his family) is a direct descendant of Robert King, and we were delighted to receive photographs of their visit to College.
