I arrived at St. Edmund’s in 2017 to start an MPhil in Archaeology, having applied to read HSPS at Magdalene four years earlier and been rejected. I went to UCL to study Egyptian Archaeology instead, a degree I was far better suited to and enjoyed every minute of. A small Read more…

#41 Leah Boyer (2008, Law)

When Dr. Sean Butler called me on New Year’s Eve to ask me to join the matriculation class of 2008, I sat down on the bed of our FEMA trailer and sobbed. As a Cajun girl from New Orleans living in the middle of the destruction left in the wake Read more…
