Emmanuel College, Cambridge

Emmanuel College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay. Mildmay, a Puritan, originally intended Emmanuel to be a college of training for Protestant preachers to rival the successful Catholic theological schools that had trained Dominican friars for years. Emmanuel still has a few theological students, but has broadened itself to include students of a wide variety of subjects, and opened its doors to women in 1979.

Students' Union

Emmanuel College Students' Union (ECSU) provides a bar, common room and funding for sports and other societies, as well as acting as the channel of communication between the students and the College.
