Foreword
CW Chu College will admit its first cohort of students in summer 2012. This will mark a vital juncture in the process of building a new College that has engaged the spirit and energy of so many colleagues. This collective enterprise involves all members of the College — not least the students who will join us in just a few months. Its success will depend on the considered implementation of our shared vision.
Building a New College: Our Vision and Plans

Our First Student Cohort

In front of me stands the architect's model of the new college building.  My gaze falls on the common room at the end of the corridor.  I look closer, zooming in, imagining a vision of our future students.
