Dr Mark Ogden (Senior Tutor)

Dr Ogden is always available for urgent matters and looming pastoral crises. For routine business, please check his office hours and make an appointment with his secretary.

The Senior tutor is also the first point of contact for missed academic commitments, changing course and other related academic needs. It is good to keep him informed if you are going to miss assessed work or tutorials so that he doesn’t find out via a stern letter from your department. If there is a valid reason he can negotiate extensions and help find a suitable course of action. His email address is mark.ogden@durham.ac.uk and his office is at the top of Haughton Staircase just up from the college reception

Katie Mackay (Student Support Officer)

Like Dr Ogden, Katie works closely between students and staff in the Senior Tutor's office. She heads up the college system of tutors to make sure that all student's are looked after in the college welfare system. Katie is on the same level as Mark as the first point of contact for students with regards to their pastoral care. Her email address is katie.mackay@durham.ac.uk and if she is not in the Senior Tutor's office, she can be found in the Alumni office.
