Keble MCR social life
The vibrant community of graduate students are the beating heart to college life. All year round, through term and non-term time, the MCR organizes events that coalesce ideas, histories, cultures, traditions and interests to generate a well packed calendar.
All events for the term will be advertised in a ‘Term Card’ prior to Week 1. However, the best way to keep track of these events is by following the Google Calendar (ICal).
The Social Team is a coalition of two offices within the MCR Committee, namely, the Social Secretaries and the Arts & Culture Offices. The events are designed to be as inclusive as possible, catering to the broad interests of the college members. The idea is to ensure that there is something for everyone that is at the very least, interesting.
The team is always looking for unique ideas for events that will keep the community engaged and inspired. At present, the members of the Keble MCR can look forward to events ranging from weekly Game of Thrones screenings, a themed Big Open Party (BOP), cultural celebrations, musical theatre nights, Salsa dance nights, bi-weekly scholarly discussions and reading groups.
If you would like to be a part of the organizing of these events, and contribute your time and abilities, feel free to get in touch with the team.

Keble MCR Social Team
Jessica Nixon and Tiffany Chan
Entertainment Officers
Jess is a second-year MPhil student reading Medieval English Literature, researching gynecological and architectural metaphors in devotional, medicinal, and alchemical literatures. When she’s not chasing the elusive origins of the seven chambered womb in ancient tomes, she can be found at one of the many watering holes across Oxford, nursing a pint in jovial company. As your social secretary, she is devoted to the Good Times, whether that looks like leading the late-night charge towards thumping tunes, mingling amongst the MCR over mugs of hot chocolate, or gathering folks to watch whatever is the recent silver screen phenomena. If in doubt, she’s the tall blonde one – please always say hello!
Tiffany is an MSc student in Digital Scholarship – if you dare ask about it, be prepared for a five-minute deep dive that may leave you more confused than enlightened. After all, she’s the CEO of degrees nobody asked for. When she’s not navigating the digital humanities, she’s on a quest for the perfect flat white, occasionally spotted running, shooting hoops, or tucked away in a library somewhere. As your social secretary, she is all about Good Vibes – making sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys themselves, whatever that may look like. Whether it’s lively nights out, celebrating diverse cultures, or discovering new interests within the MCR. She’s keen to help create a space where everyone belongs and is always happy to hear suggestions, so feel free to say hello and share your ideas! (:
Keble Selwyn College 2024
On March 1st, 2024 Keble College buzzed with excitement as the MCR Selwyn Exchange Officer welcomed 35 students from Selwyn College, Cambridge. Keble’s Warden welcomed Selwyn students at the pre-dinner welcome event; right after, the students were off on a tour of the city and Keble College. The day ended with a formal dinner held in Keble Hall and a post-dinner social.
Two weeks later, on March 15th, it was Selwyn’s turn to host. Keblers were greeted with a beautiful, sunny day and a warm welcome to their sister College. As the day went on, Keblers toured the city and the College and then the 35 Keblers made their way to the formal dinner at Selwyn. The exchange ended with a bop, lots of memories, and new friendships.
