Welcome back to Mel Searle, Head of Conference and Events

On her return Mel said:
"It is like coming home!
When I said goodbye to Robinson College nearly 7 years ago, little did I know that I would be back as Head of Conference and Events Services in 2025!
Having started my University events career here at Robinson College back in 2011, this is the College that has truly held my heart over the years and I am so excited to be back!
I am very passionate about the College and the great space it has to offer – from its large Auditorium that can take 270 (or up to 400 if you use both theatres together, with hybrid capabilities), to the stunning and exclusive Crausaz Wordsworth Building and beautiful gardens that link both areas. Plus over 300 bedrooms – so much space and opportunity!
In this newly created role, I will be coordinating, developing and managing the College’s conferencing services to both the academic community and external clients - existing and new. Designing wonderful experiences and memories!"
