Dear Jesus Old Member,

You are cordially invited to our next annual event.

Experts from the arts and sciences will cover topics from ancient to modern at our annual JOM Day in Oxford. This event is open to all Jesus Old Members and guests, and is fully accessible.  We offer a brief summary and schedule here, with links to further information.

Professor Tim Coulson, Fellow of Jesus College and Professor of Zoology and Environmental Sustainability at the University of Oxford, is keen to make science comprehensible to all.  Starting from the Big Bang about

13.8 billion years ago, his talk reveals the necessary steps for all life on Earth, including ourselves, to come into being!

Two Jesus postgraduates present their latest research and answer your questions.  Providing a wider audience for their work, it is our pleasure to support them in this way.

After drinks and a sociable lunch in Hall, another treat awaits us at the Bodleian Library.

Dr Andrew Dunning, a Hugh Price Fellow and Curator of Medieval Manuscripts at the Bodleian Library, directs the project to digitise the Jesus College manuscripts.  His talk explains the process, and the privilege of viewing examples of ancient manuscripts is yours!
