College Officers are appointed to particular jobs. The great majority are Fellows with teaching responsibilities, although there are exceptions, such as the Bursars, the Senior Tutor and the Development Director. The student-related officers are as follows: The Health Protection Agency recommends that young adults are protected against mumps by receiving two doses of MMR vaccine, which gives 90% protection. If you have not had both the normal doses of MMR vaccine, it is strongly recommended that you are immunised before coming to Oxford, as there have been clusters of cases of mumps and measles at various universities. MMR can be given at the same time as the Meningitis ACWY vaccine. It is better to be immunised before arrival (because of the risk of transmission during events at the start of term) but it will be possible to have the vaccine later, once you have registered with the College GPs at 19 Beaumont Street. Lord Macdonald, Warden of Wadham 2012 – 2021, thanked William Doo and his family for all they have done to create the William Doo Undergraduate Centre for our students, which is ‘at the heart of their experience here’. He expressed our deep gratitude for the Doo family’s leadership in generously supporting and sharing Wadham’s mission to bring as broad a range of talent as possible from across the world to our College. The University of Oxford has provided advice about the vaccinations that you are strongly advised to have before arriving.

Cleaning and emptying waste and recycling bins in shared kitchens, bathrooms and toilets on weekdays. i) Keep the residence requirements laid down by the University except where formal permission is obtained from the Senior Tutor in advance.All undergraduates are required to maintain a ‘satisfactory academic performance’ while on course. This means that students will: At Wadham, student welfare is genuinely a priority. The Student Union (SU) has four Welfare Officers who organise regular events like welfare brunch, Zumba and Yoga. The SU also has a Women’s Officer, an LGBTQIA Officer, a People of Colour and Racial Equality Officer, a Disabled Students Officer and a Trans Rep. There are also trained peer supporters who do regular drop-in sessions. Wadham has a Welfare Advisor, and Jane the chaplain is always on hand for a cup of tea and a chat, along with Maggie Mae, the college dog (although technically she is a ‘cat’). We also have a college tortoise called Archibald. Entertainment

Students are expected to recognize that they are engaged in full-time study, and other activities (sporting, social or work experience) should not be prioritised above academic work. Restored and reshaped following the Second World War, the present Gardens are divided into the Warden's Garden, the Fellows' Private Garden and the Fellows' Garden, together with the Cloister Garden (originally the cemetery) and the White Scented Garden.

All students are required to be familiar with the Wadham Handbook, documenting the policies of the College in domestic, decanal, financial and academic matters, and providing essential information and guidance in all these areas. The handbook can be accessed online here. If deficiencies are not then made good voluntarily, the College has more prescriptive procedures to attain the same goal. Resort to formal means of dealing with persistently inadequate work is rarely found to be necessary, but if a student’s academic performance is deemed to be inadequate, then this may trigger Stage Two of the Academic Monitoring Procedures. You are therefore encouraged to discuss any condition with the Senior Tutor, Domestic Bursar, your college advisor or the Academic Administrator (as Disability Coordinator), as appropriate. Whilst disclosure might be recommended, all officers will respect confidentiality as far as safety allows. Maurice Bowra was warden of the college from 1938 until 1970, and was influential in determining the character of the college as open and meritocratic. He was known for his hospitality but also for his waspish wit, and anecdotes about his time as Warden remain in circulation amongst Wadham alumni. A statue of Bowra is in the college gardens, and the college's 1992 Bowra Building bears his name. [ citation needed] Modern day [ edit ] Since 1976, Wadham has been distinctive in having a Student Union, [37] which in principle represents both undergraduate and graduate members. In practice the SU is more concerned with undergraduate interests and activities, whilst the separate MCR committee represents graduate students. [38]

Originally a series of orchards and market-gardens carved out from the property of the previously existing Augustinian priory, their appearance and configuration have been significantly modified over the course of the last four hundred years to reflect their constantly changing functional and aesthetic purpose.

Third years do a random ballot for priority choosing rooms whilst first years are more randomly allocated but you fill out a questionnaire stating some preferences beforehand. Some college rooms have a kitchen and there is the main JCR kitchen that everyone can use. A few of the rooms have en-suites but usually a bathroom is shared between two to four people. A conscientious commitment to academic work is expected throughout a student’s time here and is a condition of continued membership of the College. Davies, C.S.L. (September 2003).
