The College is proud to count over 200 Senior Members among its community. Our Senior Members come from a wide range of backgrounds, including holders of senior University positions and notable figures in business, industry, and professions. Senior Members are encouraged to engage with the College's community and get involved with its activities and development. This can include mentoring, academic support, and contributing their expertise.
"A glance back at my diary shows that most years I enjoy attending Wolfson’s Entrepreneurship events, the Lee Lecture, and Law Society events such as the David Williams Annual Lecture. I come along to our monthly Senior Members' lunches and termly talks and enjoy our excellent library and gardens too. Being an active Senior Member at Wolfson has helped maintain my sense of belonging to our wonderful University."
Finola O'Sullivan, Senior Member from 2016

"Universities today need a wide variety of expertise and experience to succeed, not just the research of the Fellows. This is where the Senior Membership of Wolfson can be so valuable to the College and its members. I think it's very useful that those working in the wider university have a college connection, as the colleges are the hearts and minds of the organisation."
Mary Jennings, Senior Member from 1999
