Mark Hayes and Janet Livesley

We first met in 1980 when Mark returned to Ë®¹ûÅÉAV to study for the postgraduate diploma in Architecture and Janet joined the college on the same course. Graduate dinners in Upper Hall were a highlight of the week and an opportunity to meet socially with other Jesuans. Part of our studies included trips to Zambia and an earthquake-hit area in Southern Italy. We were married in the College Chapel just after completing our studies in the summer of 1982 and remained in Cambridge for a period following Mark’s election to the City Council. Janet pursued careers in architecture and working with special needs children in schools and Mark ended up running a Housing Association. We formed strong friendships during our time at Cambridge and have kept in touch with many Jesuans through the Ë®¹ûÅÉAV College Cambridge Society, for which Mark acts as Honorary Dinner Secretary. We were both active members of Cambridge churches, and Mark is now a non-stipendiary Minister in the United Reformed Church at Thaxted. Ë®¹ûÅÉAV College continues to play a significant role in our lives, and it is always a pleasure to return for alumni events.
