For me, the best thing about Emma is the
inter-year socialising - it makes it a lovely
community to be a part of
Wellbeing & Health
Emmanuel is known for our collaborative environment, ensuring all our students feel supported, encouraged & content during their time with us. We aim to enable everyone to flourish, for life, taking advantage of our inclusive, supportive community and special surroundings.
Our wellbeing staff, alongside our staff, Fellowship and student body, provide all kinds of support. This includes everything from one–to–one academic & pastoral support, to welfare activities & drop–in sessions, to community walks & sports. You can contact any of the wellbeing staff in confidence, at any time. They will aim to respond as soon as possible. If you have any concerns about your friends, you should reach out to them. If they need support from the College, you should inform a member of the wellbeing staff.
