Members from across the Pembroke community gathered in the Cloister this morning to mark Remembrance Sunday. A poppy wreath was laid in front of the memorial to the Pembroke students, alumni and staff who died in World War I by one of our students, who had served in the Danish Army

Pembroke is flying the College flag today to mark the admission of Professor Polly Blakesley as its new Master. Professor Blakesley will be Pembroke’s 55th Master, and the first woman to hold the role. A short admission ceremony will take place this evening.

Congratulations to the 39 Pembroke graduands who received their degrees in person today, and the further eight who received them in absentia. After the graduation ceremony, Lord Smith was clapped out of the Senate House to mark his final graduation ceremony as Master and welcome him as Chancellor.
