The end of an era! Yesterday we said goodbye to Tim Rhodes, our College Boatman for the last 34 years. Second Bursar Simon Shinkfield thanked him for all his years of service and support for the students, and recent boat club Captains presented him with a plaque. We were also lucky to be joined by Tim's wife Nina, whom many at Corpus will know from her own long service next door at Pembroke College Cambridge. We wish Tim the very best in his retirement and hope to see him cheering on the crews out on the river.

All smiles at the Experience Postgrad Life Sciences BBQ held at a (very parched) Leckhampton last week. This programme offers paid eight-week research placements, in partnership with the Postgraduate School of Life Sciences, to undergraduate students in their penultimate year of study at a UK or Republic of Ireland university.

The aims of the programme are to:

-Equip undergraduate students with a range of research skills
-Give participants the opportunity to engage with inspiring research staff and students
-Expose participants to what postgraduate study involves
-Prepare participants for postgraduate study applications
-Provide occasions to meet other prospective postgraduate students

Above all, this programme aims to increase the diversity of postgraduate students and tackle the underrepresentation of certain groups.

Big thanks to the Rosalie Beirne, Internship Programmes Coordinator at the School of Life Sciences, Fellow Dr Betty Chung, Programme Academic Lead, and Fellow Mike Nicholson, the University of Cambridge Director of Recruitment, Admissions and Participation - not to mention Davide and the catering staff!
