HONORARY FELLOWSHIPS

Honorary Fellows directly assist the President, the College and its students, according to their range of interests and talents, by acting as ‘ambassadors’ for the College in the wider community. There are no specific duties, but ways in which Honorary Fellows might contribute include mentoring and advising students about their career choices, helping the Faculty with research projects, or serving from time to time as guest speakers. These are just examples; the list is not exhaustive, not should an Honorary Fellow feel under an obligation to do anything of this sort. The central point is that Honorary Fellows are an adornment to the College by virtue of their life and experience, and their identification with us in the wider world. They are men and women who enjoy the company of young people and have a sense of the vocation of Catholic education in the broadest and fullest sense.
