For me, the best thing about Emma is the
inter-year socialising - it makes it a lovely
community to be a part of

We are very sad to announce that Professor Robert Henderson died peacefully at home early on Sunday 10 December after a short illness.
Within the University he had been a mainstay of the Pharmacology Department, acting as their Head on several occasions. More recently he had earnt a reputation for calmness and diligence, University wide, for the way he chaired its COVID ‘Gold’ Committee.
He joined Emmanuel in 1993 as an Official Fellow and College Lecturer in Medicine. He was a dedicated and devoted Fellow, a wise counsellor and friend to us all. He held many roles, including as Tutor, Financial Tutor, Admissions Tutor, Acting Senior Tutor and, since 2011, as our Senior Tutor, a position which he only stepped down from a fortnight ago. He then became a Life Fellow. At various times he was also Fellows’ Steward and editor of the college website. He will be deeply missed and long remembered.
