THE WARDEN
Sir Richard Heaton KCB
warden@robinson.cam.ac.uk

There are lots of different titles for the heads of Oxbridge Colleges (e.g. Master, President) but at Robinson, the Head of House is called the Warden. The Warden is in overall charge of the College and chairs the major committees. The post is currently held by Sir Richard Heaton KCB. You are most likely to meet them at one of the social events either in Freshers Week, at our termly dinner with the Fellows (MCR-SCR Hall) or at our Research Days.

SENIOR TUTOR
Dr Scott Annett

The Senior Tutor looks after the academic studies of the college along with the welfare of the Junior Members (i.e. undergraduates and graduates). His office can be found in Set 19 (Opposite the Red Brick café)

His assistant, Mrs Keisha Sharp (ks610@cam.ac.uk) is a fount of all knowledge and looks after the tutorial office. She should be your first point of contact if you need a new University card, need an official student verification letter and most other things.

THE GRADUATE TUTORS

Graduate Tutors are assigned based on discipline. Here is a list of Fellows who are graduate tutors; please see the College Graduate Tutors Webpage to find more information on each Tutor.

Dr BD Sloan:bds26@cam.ac.uk
Dr C Truscott:clt45@cam.ac.uk

The Graduate Tutors are available to provide confidential help and advice to all Graduate members. Every Graduate will be assigned one of the Graduate Tutors at the beginning of their studies to act as a point of contact. They can provide help with living out, disagreements with the College authorities, financial problems, managing your relationship with your supervisor, the Student Registry (formerly the Board of Graduate Studies), etc. The Graduate Tutors would like to get to know each student individually and would expect to see each of the Graduates assigned to them once a term. This is best done by emailing them directly to make a specific appointment. There will be a number of opportunities to meet the Graduate Tutors informally throughout the year at social events, dinners and the Research Days.

In addition to the Graduate Tutors, there are a couple of other tutors with specific responsibilities:

The Porters are also the face of the College and generally know just about everything and everyone. They sort the mail, call taxis, program blue University cards for the MCR and provide first aid support; they calm the sobbing and shush the drunk. More than one of us had ended up in the Porter's Lodge (known as the Plodge in Cambridge) in their pyjamas when they have locked themselves out of their room!

They have also heard and know more stories about the College and people inhabiting it than anyone else. Make sure to say hello to them and get to know them as they are an important and friendly asset to the college. There is always a Porter on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Current projects involve raising money for a new Seminar Building on Adams Road as well as continuing to raise funds for graduate scholarships.

HEAD HOUSEKEEPER
Mrs Julie Allen

The College provides a housekeeping service to all rooms. Bedders will clean your room weekly, empty bins and clean the bathroom and kitchen (but they don't do the washing up). They will also change your sheets, duvet cover and pillowcases, but you have to strip your bed on the appropriate day. The bedders are looked after by the Head Housekeepers and you can find them in their office just off the Bin Brook Concourse (end of Long Court, through the two sets of double doors and straight on, first door on the left). You should contact the Housekeeping department if you experience any problems with the furnishings in your room, kitchen or bathroom; or if you experiencing problems with your bedder. They also have a feedback form that you can fill out on-line as well. Your bedder can supply additional blankets for the winter and may even be able to sort out some extra furniture (especially bookcases and comfy chairs).

FACILITIES MANAGER
Mr Chris Tyrrell
cdt31@robinson.cam.ac.uk

The Maintenance Department deals with all problems to do with the physical state of the college buildings, ranging from changing lightbulbs to tackling leaks. Obviously maintenance cannot sort problems out unless you tell them what's wrong, so fill in a maintenance slip at the Porters' Lodge or visit http://maintenance.robinson.cam.ac.uk/ and they will try to sort it out as soon as possible.

You can also pop in to see them - they are at the end of the corridor off Bin Brook concourse (past Housekeeping). here is always a member of maintenance team either on-site or on-call, so do not worry if there's a maintenance emergency in the middle of the night. In such cases, contact the Porters first who will make a preliminary assessment of the matter before talking to the on-call maintenance member of staff.
