Who are we?
We are named after the 19th Century social reformer, Josephine Butler, who had a profound influence on society's view of women's health and education.
- Butler is a fully en-suite, self-catering College.
Butler is beautiful, shiny and new. It has a good mix of people from all walks of life and you really get a sense that things are there for the taking if you want it as students run most of the day to day activities. Butler is simply wonderful!

COLLEGE MENTOR OPPORTUNITIES
College Mentors support undergraduate freshers (and those who opt in for subsequent years) to settle into university life and positively manage their academic and extra curricula life. At Butler we do this through College Mentor nights, weekly during term times in our Bar (Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 5.30pm, with hot food available). This is a convenient arrangement for staff to come to the college after work to meet with their students. This opportunity is open to all staff and research postgraduates. We particularly welcome inquiries from Durham’s research communities. If you or a colleague would like to apply, please send an email with a current CV to Jill (the Senior Tutor and Vice-Principal) at jbcollege.secretary@durham.ac.uk by 31
