Exeter College holds inaugural careers event to celebrate 35 years of women at Exeter

On 5 March Exeter College held its inaugural careers event to celebrate 35 years of women at Exeter and highlight some of the professions they have gone on to enjoy.

Chaired by Rector Frances Cairncross, four leading alumnae in the fields of writing, publishing and journalism spoke about their career paths and offered informal advice over dinner to a group of Exeter graduates and undergraduates.

We are very grateful to Emma Bondor (1997, English), Geraldine Cooper (1998, Mod Langs), Miranda Carter (1983, Modern History) and Susie Nicklin (1982, English) for their enthusiasm and insight.

The next event, to be held in Trinity Term, will focus on alumnae in the fields of law and finance. Further events are planned for Michaelmas 2014 and beyond.
