The College has appointed a new Tutor for Ethnic Minorities. The role will be undertaken by Professor Philip Maini, Fellow in Mathematical Biology.

Professor Philip K MainiCommenting on his appointment, Professor Maini said, 'Having been a student here myself, and from an ethnic minority,聽I know how the stresses of balancing different cultural expectations聽can add to the already pressurised life of an Oxford student. I would聽have found it helpful to be able to talk to someone who understood聽this. I hope that I can be that person. I plan to listen to the students,聽and to bring to the attention of College any issues that they may have.'

Professor Maini spoke at the recent inaugural Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Dinner, held in College to celebrate the diversity of our community. Members of the JCR, MCR and SCR gathered for drinks in the Barn before a magnificent dinner in St Giles House.聽
