Formal Dinners

Formal Dinners

Formal DinnerOn Mondays during semester Women's College students gather in academic dress for Formal Dinner.

After a delicious meal served to the table, students are informed and inspired by a distinguished speaker who talks about an aspect of their career or expertise. At pre-dinner drinks or coffee afterwards students can chat informally with the guest speaker. Music is always a feature!

The Chancellor's Dinner is a special annual event at which the College community recognises the academic excellence of College scholars of high achievement. Highlights of the evening are toasts to the University and to the College.
