Jesus College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge.[a] Jesus College was established in 1496[5] on the site of the twelfth-century Benedictine nunnery of St Mary and St Radegund by John Alcock, then Bishop of Ely.[5] 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.[6]
Jesus College has assets of approximately £375m making it Cambridge's fourth-wealthiest college. [7] 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 each received a Nobel Prize.[8] Two fellows of the college have been appointed to the International Court of Justice.[9]
Sonita Alleyne was elected master of Jesus College in 2019, 40 years after the college began admitting women as students.[10] She is also the first black leader of an Oxbridge college.[11]
