About Claudia Parsons
Parsons is the newest hall in Loughborough University, named after Claudia Parsons, an English engineer, traveller and alumna of Loughborough. Claudia attended the University between 1919 and 1922, graduating with a degree in Automotive Engineering and as one of just three women on a course of over 300 men. Following her degree, Claudia became a highly respected member of the Women’s Engineering Society.
Claudia’s passion for engineering and motors never ceased and she became chauffeur companion and the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by car. She was also an author, writing about her experiences in two books. In recognition of her work in women’s
Engineering, the University hosts an annual lecture in her name, which aims to raise the profile of women working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Committee
Every hall has a committee, which consists of up to 19 members which help make your freshers’ experience, and your time in halls great. Each member has a specific position, and they’re your main contact for getting involved in that part of the unique Loughborough University experience!
Your committee is governed through its Constitution and has regular meetings. To find out more about how your hall is governed, you can read the constitution, or contact any member of the committee, who will gladly answer any of your questions.
“Claudia Parsons is a hall like no other on campus, and is the best place to spend your first year here at Loughborough university. We know leaving for uni can be scary but Claudia Parsons feels like a home, where you will make friends for life. CP’s events are unparalleled, whether that’s sport, social or welfare. Our committee is hardworking and dedicated to make your experience as a fresher as amazing as possible, and we have no doubt that you’ll have the best year of your life here (or hopefully more if you choose to stay with us!).”
