Professor Martin Roland CBE
I was delighted when I was elected as a Fellow of Murray Edwards, a modern college with none of the stuffiness of some of Cambridge’s older colleges. I fully support the College’s aims to provide top quality education to outstanding young women and to promote the place of women in society more generally. One of these is through our leading collection of contemporary women’s art in Europe, The Women's Art Collection, which showcases the exceptional achievements of women artists.
