C-Sunday is a tradition in Cambridge that takes place on the May Bank holiday weekend. It's the event where students hangout en masse just before exam season steals their ability to see another individual without breaking down completely. It takes place on Jesus Green, where this year, our MCR will try to find a spot for everyone. You can stop by and leave whenever, and there will be snacks and water provided. C-Sunday has historically been a day centred around alcohol consumption so if you want to b-drunk, BYOB 🍹

It's World Earth day today but as we all know, unfortunately, one day isn't going to stop climate change. Fortunately though for the MCR, our great Green officers have helped to organised quite a few exciting events to raise awareness and combat the rising temperatures and its effects. These events includes another clothes swap, a vegan formal, and more!

With this workshop "Dorothea aims to increase awareness about the importance of nature for our mental and physical health, and we'll explore practical ways to access its resources for us individually and in our roles as future leaders."

Join us for this exciting workshop led by Selwyn student Dorothea E. Moser who’ll be sharing invaluable information about the power of the outdoors on our mental and physical wellbeing. Time: Sunday 24th April at 2pm Place: Selwyn’s Auditorium Event format: Workshop including talk & outdoor activity Access: In-person (step-free access) or online. Note: Bring clothes with you for going outside after the talk About Dorothea: Dorothea E. Moser is a 2nd year Selwyn PhD student working at the British Antarctic Survey. She studies limitations and potential of melt-altered ice cores from the polar regions for climate reconstruction and spends a lot of her work and leisure time outdoors.
