Inside Pembroke Chapel — not accessible to visitors during Refugee Week because of student exams — is a bent wooden cross, sculpted by Francesco Tuccio from the timbers of a refugee boat that had been abandoned on the island of Lampedusa in 2016.

The college continues to respond to the challenge that this cross represents: fundraising for refugee causes, welcoming a Visiting Scholar from a place of danger, sending baby slings, supporting a studentship for a refugee, and a studentship for refugee studies.
