Welcome letter from The Dean

Dear Fresher

Welcome to Pembroke and to the Chapel

Congratulations and Welcome! I am very much looking forward to meeting you at the beginning of this coming term. Pembroke College is a supportive, enjoyable and purposeful community, and we look forward to having you as part of it.

  • The Chapel is undoubtedly the most lovely, spiritual and peaceful place in the College. It is open 24 hours a day for all College members.
  • We hold beautiful musical services on Wednesday and Sunday, sung by College students and others. We also host the excellent University Gospel Choir.
  • We engage actively with the wider world
    • cooperating with immigrant churches in Cambridge
    • campaigning for Migrants and Refugees
    • combating inequality in the London with Pembroke House,
    • working alongside people with learning disabilities.
  • We aim to give an open and fair account of how we find Faith life-enhancing and true.

I shall meet you in the first few days, at my Tea Party on Sunday 30th September, at your Dean’s meeting on Monday or Tuesday, and at your Matriculation Service.
