We are profoundly saddened to announce that Catherine Webb, the College’s Bursar and an Official Fellow, died peacefully at Guy’s Hospital, with her family by her side, on Wednesday 19th August.
Catherine studied Economics at Emmanuel from 1997 to 2000 and went on to work in the Civil Service across the Government Economic Service and HM Treasury. Catherine joined Emmanuel as Bursar in February 2023. As Bursar, she directed the College’s operational and non-academic functions, and led College staff with dedication and distinction.
Her death will be felt deeply throughout the College community and far beyond. She was a much-loved colleague and friend, and a warm, thoughtful and valued presence in College life.
