A warm and enthusiastic welcome to Josephine Butler College. Your journey with us marks an exciting step into a contemporary community committed to your growth and success. As you join Butler, you are embracing an inclusive and supportive environment that values curiosity, friendship, and personal development. Our community of students, staff, alumni, and friends work together to create opportunities for all. Our Junior Common Room (JCR) provides the core of undergraduate student life: a self-organising group embodying the spirit of everything Butler.
Welcome to Butler! Our Junior Common Room (JCR) provides a wide variety of opportunities to #GetInvolved, develop your skills and knowledge, and have a fulfilling wider student experience. Our amazing students run our sports, societies, and committees and we highly encourage you to take part. We aim to have something for everyone and, if you think there's something missing, we're here to help you create it! Butler is an incredibly close-knit community despite our size and we hope you grow to love it as much as we all do. If you have any questions, feel free to message us on Instagram @butler.sabbs or email us at butler.jcr@durham.ac.uk. We're so glad you're joining us and we'll see you soon
After results day, we will contact and keep new students updated via email. This will be in the form of 'InThurmation'. The first issue will be sent out on 24 August. If you are not receiving these, please email jb.adminassistant@durham.ac.uk.
You will be given an arrival/registration time and date slot which will be on either Saturday 23 or Sunday 24 September. We ask you to stick to this as closely as possible as we have limited parking spaces.
The Timetable has been designed so College events don’t clash with any of your academic departmental events, but offer you lots of opportunities to meet your fellow Freshers, find your way around and settle into student life.
