welcome!

Welcome to the website of the Selwyn Junior Combination Room Society. The JCRS does a great many different things for its members (except, perhaps Combination, itself) who are all the current undergraduates of Selwyn College, Cambridge.
If you are a current member, you might find details of all the JCR's services, sports clubs and non-sporting societies useful. Alternatively, if you are ever in need of some help or support, try the welfare or academic affairs pages. Alternatively, have a browse through back-issues of kiwi or use the forums.
Former members are very welcome to keep in touch with the forums and there is a forum devoted to questions from prospective students (who might also like to see our information pages on applying).

Due to the University's Long Vacation (otherwise known as the Summer Holiday), the Selwyn JCRS is, like the Kiwi, currently in a state of incubation, ready to hatch in October for another year of Selwyn Life.
For those who have been graduating: we wish you well! Whatever the future holds, do keep in touch and keep the Snowball (and perhaps the May Ball) nights free!
If you have an offer to study at Selwyn and are waiting for your results; good luck! You should check the college's and University's websites for more information, especially if you narrowly miss your offer. Once your place is confirmed, then please have a look at our freshers section and feel free to post on the forum or email the committee if you have any questions.
Prospective students are still welcome to check out our "Applying to Selwyn" section and ask any questions. Remember that the deadline for undergraduate applications to Cambridge is much sooner than at other Universities; it has to be in by the 15th October.
Finally, for current Selwyn students: enjoy the well-earned rest! There are still a few vacancies on the JCRC (including Computing Officer), so get keen and get involved!
Best wishes,
Jacob
Acting Webmaster
News
From the Monday 2nd to Wednesday 4th July, Selwyn will be welcoming a group of about 70 6th formers from Leeds for the Access Residential. The 6th formers will be staying in Selwyn for a couple of days, where they will take part in a number of scheduled activities and talks, as well as getting a feel for the atmosphere of living in a Cambridge College.
The Admissions Office need about 10 volunteers to help out with the scheduled activities, lead tours of Cambridge and basically be available to answer questions by the 6th formers.
I'm urgently trying to set up a Selwyn Art Society before I have to leave this summer!
The Selwyn Art Exhibition has been great fun and has been really popular for the two years it's been running and I really want it to keep running in future, hopefully with ever increasing numbers of artists and viewers! It would also be great to get involved with the other college art societies - Pembroke and Kings are both very enthusiastic about some joint projects.
The exhibition is not much work, and will be much less if spread over a few people. If you'd like to be involved in Selwyn Art Society or might want to help run the exhibition next year, please email me asap (fvs20@cam.ac.uk) and I'll try to organise a very brief meeting, or at least set up a facebook society if there is any response, and answer any questions.
Selwyn College Hermes Club distributes Sports grants each year to ALL
members of Selwyn who feel they have incurred costs as a result of
representing University or College sports teams.
There will be a Bar/Head Chef's Forum with Matt and Scott in the Bar at 8 on the 11th June. This is a really good chance for you to chat to them and air your views about Hall and the Bar. So whatever your opinions, come and share them on Monday at 8 (particularly anyone who has a view on the new Halal options).
Hopefully see lots of you there!
