Jesus College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge.[5] The college's full name is The College of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the glorious Virgin Saint Radegund, near Cambridge. Its common name comes from the name of its chapel, Jesus Chapel.
Jesus College was established in 1496[6] on the site of the twelfth-century Benedictine nunnery of St Mary and St Radegund by John Alcock, then Bishop of Ely.[6] The cockerel is the symbol of Jesus College, after the surname of its founder. For the 300 years from 1560 to 1860, Jesus College was primarily a training college for Church of England clergy.[7]
Jesus College has assets of approximately £375m making it Cambridge's fourth-wealthiest college. [8] The college is known for its particularly expansive grounds which include its sporting fields and for its proximity to its boathouse. Three members of Jesus College have received a Nobel Prize.[9] Two fellows of the college have been appointed to the International Court of Justice.[10]
Sonita Alleyne was elected master of Jesus College in 2019, 40 years after the college began admitting women as students.[11] She is also the first black leader of an Oxbridge college.[12]
