St Anne’s is the home of choice for the brightest and most ambitious students, including those from underrepresented groups.
St Anne’s is one of Oxford’s largest colleges, with over 800 students. Our Fellows’ world leading research ranges across the arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and physical, life and medical sciences.
Our diverse, inclusive community extends around the globe through our alumnae, who build on their experiences here to change the world for the better.
Situated within 5 acres of tranquil leafy grounds, St Anne’s enjoys a unique atmosphere in which to hold any conference, dinner or special event.
St Anne’s Society (formerly known as the Association of Senior Members, or ASM) is an alumnae led inclusive organisation, of which all students and alumnae of the College become life members automatically, free of charge.
The Society’s purpose is to engage St Anne’s alumnae all over the world with the College in its aspiration to understand the world and change it for the better.
Committee
The SAS Committee meets three times a year and is made up of representatives from all the regional branches and from College.
The Committee organises the annual Gaudy event, which is open to all St Anne’s alumnae and their guests. The Gaudy brings together alumnae with intellectual content and debate, and is an opportunity to be reunited with your contemporaries, meet like-minded people and make new friends.
If you want to know more about the SAS, or are interested in joining the committee, please contact David Royal at iamdavidroyal@gmail.com. Additionally, you can view the Constitution of the SAS, updated in 2016.

The Development Office is always looking for alumnae who are interested in serving as year, decade or subject reunion champions to bring their contemporaries to the College. The Development Office will handle all logistics for the event, and send postal and electronic invitations, and are looking for champions who are interested in spread the word about the event via social media platforms and word of mouth.
On 17 June 1979, in the nervous time when the first male Fellows had been elected, and the first male students admitted though they had not yet arrived, a note from the Dean to Governing Body asks hesitantly “Would Governing Body wish ‘he’ (or ‘he/she’) to be substituted for ‘she’ throughout the College Regulations?” Eventually the question was answered (or perhaps avoided) with the following carefully worded statement which still stands in the preamble to our Regulations: “words importing the feminine gender shall include the masculine and vice versa, where the construction so permits and the Regulations do not otherwise expressly provide”.
In fact the custom that was agreed on at St Anne’s, and continues to this day, is that contrary to usual English-language rules, feminine forms are used as the default where College members being referred to could be either female or male. This custom honours the College’s origins as a female-only institution and does not seek to marginalise men. So it is that we have an Alumnae Relations Officer even though many of our honoured alumnae are, strictly speaking, alumni.
