“Maybe you have to be a little crazy to do it”: Helene Hoffman on spending 14 months in Antarctica

The Green Society of Wolfson College enables members to enact change within the College, engage in much needed Green-conversations and to be proactive conscientious members of their local community.
Green Soc was founded on 6 February 2020 with three principle aims...
Provide a platform for the holistic Wolfson community to address 'green'-issues in it's broadest sense, here at Wolfson College and the wider world.
Encourage interested Wolfson members and groups, who otherwise wouldn't have a platform, to communicate collectively to take action and discuss points of interest.
Trial initiatives, events and other collaborations. Please get in touch.
For more information, to get involved, or to sign up to our mailing list, please contact the Green Society President, Zach Raywald (jlzr2) or join our Facebook Group and ask a question. Failing that, please contact the WCSA Green Officer Reinhard Nyandire (rbn24). We have members and interest from across the Wolfson College membership - students, fellows, staff, senior members and College senior management.
All welcome 🌿
