This year’s telephone campaign finished on Sunday 27th March after two weeks of calling. The 16 current students who made up the calling team contacted 677 Senior Members.

Message from the Principal, Andrew Dilnot CBE - 01 Apr 2011 4:07pm
It is with very mixed emotions that I announce I plan to step down as Principal of St Hugh's in September 2012, after ten years in post. I have enormously enjoyed my time here, and plan to go on doing so for the next eighteen months. St Hugh's is an outstanding community of students, staff and Fellows, and it is great privilege to work here. I have been elected the next Warden of Nuffield College, a social science graduate college, which will allow me to spend much more time doing economics again.
