The Principal, Lord Woolley, has been elected as an Honorary Fellow at Harris Manchester College, Oxford.
Homerton and Harris Manchester have a longstanding relationship as sister Colleges, and share many commonalities. Both were originally formed to serve the needs of religious dissenters and have a proud nonconformist history. Both were founded in the 18th century and moved to their current sites in their respective cities in the 1890s. And both share a proud reputation for friendliness, diversity, freedom from the constraints of tradition, and a commitment to equipping students to make a positive difference in the world.
Harris Manchester received its Royal Charter and became a full College of the University of Oxford in 1996, and this year will belatedly celebrate its 25th anniversary. The College's Principal, Professor Jane Shaw, is a valued Honorary Fellow at Homerton.
