Durham is a beautiful old city in the North East of England, surrounding the World Heritage Site which encompasses the magnificent Norman cathedral and mediaeval castle now home to on of our colleges.

Delegates will all be affiliated with one of Durham’s 17 colleges. Each conference day will be based in a different college, from the older to younger. Together with presentations and panel discussions, there will be opportunities to meet students and staff in your college, and attend a Formal college dinner, plus experience the colleges sporting, volunteering and performing arts activities. 

Contributions in the form of presentations, panel discussions etc. are welcome. Themes may include the value of collegiate systems in the 21st century; supporting wider student development; student support and welfare; connecting and engaging alumni; freedom of speech and learning to disagree well; developing leaders and team players; meeting challenges in a fast-changing world; facilitating broad scholarship and reflective; and independent thinking; developing good citizens.
