Stephenson College Community

Stephenson students are warmly invited to the Stephenson College International Formal on Friday 18 November 2022. International Students’ Day is celebrated on 17 November, a very important occasion for universities across the globe. Though originally a day of commemoration of the more than 1,200 students from the University of Prague whose lives were taken in WWII, it is now marked by a number of universities as a non-political celebration of the multiculturalism of their international students and the contribution they make. Whether you are an international student or not, this promises to be a wonderful evening.

For full details and to sign up, click on the link in our bio. The deadline to sign up is Monday 7 November at 09.00am. We look forward to celebrating with you!

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Stephenson College Squash


Squash is a really fun and exciting sport, which you can pick up really quickly without having ever played before. We run two training sessions every week, with a real range of abilities and everyone welcome. Our
training slots are 4-5 Tuesdays and 5-6 Wednesdays, with both sessions held at the Racecourse squash courts. There is absolutely no commitment needed; just come along whenever you are free for some games in a very relaxed environment.

We also play matches against other colleges most weekends, with one women’s team and two men’s teams, and our women’s team won the college league last year. It’s a really good chance to play different people and
get some competitive matches, and again there is no commitment or pressure to be available for games when you’re busy. We have enough fixtures that there are masses of opportunities to play, and people taking up the sport for the first time will be ready to
play very soon after starting.

We also have regular socials, with plans for this term including bar crawls, a team meal and a night in Newcastle. The socials are a really good way to get to know everyone in the society, just generally a great
night and a big part of what we do.

If you’re interested follow our Instagram for regular updates or email us at
[email protected] to be added to our mailing list.

Make sure to check out Rocket Theatre Company’s first production of the academic year, “The Nether.”

The Nether is a virtual wonderland that provides total sensory immersion. Just log in, choose an identity and indulge your every desire. But when a young detective uncovers a disturbing brand of entertainment, she
triggers an interrogation into the darkest corners of the imagination.

TW // Discussion of child sexual coercion // discussion of death // bright lights // some loud noises

This is a live performance staged in the Assembly Rooms Theatre on
26, 27 and 28 October, starting at 7.30pm.
