College celebrates 450th Anniversary Giving Day with a slice of history

30 June 2021

Today we are celebrating our 450th Anniversary Jesus College Giving Day, and to mark the occasion we commissioned a specially-designed ‘wisteria cake’, made for us by The Cake Shop in Oxford’s Covered Market.

The cake features a panel of windows on Second Quad, surrounded by the gorgeous wisteria that is loved and enjoyed by all in our community.  Our Principal, Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt FRS FREng, cut the first slice, surrounded by College staff and our Giving Day mascots, Hart and Seren.
