ST HILDA’S NOTICES

1. MONDAY: Feminist Discussion Group @ MCR

Join Hamsa Rajan in this thought-provoking and engaging weekly discussion on all things feminist from 8.00pm! Whether you’re a committed feminist and are eager for in depth discussion or simply interested in the topic and look forward to listening in, all are welcome and encouraged to come! Given the distinct history of St. Hilda’s College in Oxford this will undoubtedly be a popular event each week. Feel free to drink copious amounts of tea and eat non sensical amounts of cake; the MCR is well equipped thanks to our trusty Domestic Officer Vicky Hammond.

For more information please do not hesitate to contact hamsa.rajan@st-hildas.ox.ac.uk

As well as our Sunday brunches, this is just to let you know about some upcoming events in college designed wit your mental and physical well being in mind Also a reminder of some useful contacts if you every need them. We could all use support from time to time!

You can always contact either myself (Amr) or Muireann by email or in person if you need help with information about welfare resources, or even if you just need a listening ear. We always respect confidentiality.

A special thank you to the JCR welfare officers for organising the following events:
