Every year, Somerville College produces a series of publications to showcase our community’s achievements, share news, express gratitude to our donors and highlight the impact of our work.
We publish The Somerville Magazine annually in early summer, The College Report in September/October and The Report for Donors at the close of the Michaelmas term. We also publish ‘The Somervillian’, an online newsletter recapping all the news from the previous term.
We are always interested in hearing your news, and welcome suggestions for interesting alumni-related articles and stories to appear in forthcoming publications.
