Catherine Conisbee is the Sustainable Digital Scholarship Service Project Officer. Catherine joined Digital Scholarship @ Oxford from Mansfield College (Oxford), where she has been working as an Alumni and Communications Officer for the last two and a half years.
During her time at Mansfield Catherine created and delivered a wide range of new initiatives to help the College community stay connected, including the introduction of a digital hub and careers programme following the first lockdown in March 2020. Catherine studied history at University, and prior to Oxford, worked for the National Trust at Waddesdon Manor. She continues to indulge her passion for history and heritage when she has the opportunity.
Some of her favourite projects have included: Mansfield's "Giving Day" a fundraising event held (mostly online) in October 2020, which generated over £70K in donations and creating a "Pokémon Go" special interest day at Waddesdon to coincide with the launch of the app in the UK.
