At New College, we know how to celebrate. Coming together as a community, we begin important conversations, ask piercing questions, reward achievement and build the future on the solid foundations of the past. There are many pillars that hold aloft the fabric of NEW, and our alumni certainly rank strong among them. Take a photographic glimpse back with us at some of the highlights of the past year.
