The appalling violence and unrest across the UK in recent days has caused distress and concern for many staff and students in our College and across the University.
I condemn in the strongest possible terms racism, Islamophobia and violence, and I am proud of Somerville’s diversity and our status as a College of Sanctuary.
If any student is in need of support they should contact the Senior Tutor, Steve Rayner, or Jo Ockwell, our Student Welfare Lead. The Oxford SU can also provide advice and support.
If any member of staff needs support they should contact Salome Hughes, our HR Manager.
Staff, students and alumni are also welcome to contact me at any time.
